Craft beer has always been more expensive that the beer from multinational brewers. And with prices increasing lately, beer drinkers are making careful choices about the beer they drink. But what goes into the price of beer? Is that $10 double India pale ale really worth it, or are brewery owners driving Rolls Royces to the bank?
A lot goes into the price of beer. On this episode of the All About Beer podcast we sharpen our pencils and find out how much ingredients, marketing and even taxes go into a beer.
