What kind of people order stuff not knowing the price beforehand?
What kind of people don't know how much 5 beers cost?
What kind of people are willing to pay a sled full of beer's worth for 5 beers?
I think it's fake or they are idiots, or billionaires or both.
That face: “I may have miscalculated.”
Sip and Lil Sip of Sunshine beers
I mean if it’s in Utah it’s the equivalent of 5 regular beers.
An entire state making laws based on imaginary sky daddy. Fucking crazy shit.
Waterville Valley is in NH, and that sled is full of Lawson's, made in VT and some of the best beer in the Northeast.
TIL. I’ll keep an eye out next time I’m in the area.
Isn't that because Utah has weird laws about how many drinks you're allowed to order? I seem to remember hearing that bar patrons are only allowed to get one drink at a time, so bars just started getting bigger mugs.
They also have hard limits on APV of drinks. I forget what it is but it’s something low like 4%. I don’t go there much but my friend is a ski fanatic and regularly makes trips out there.
It’s 5% ABV that’s the limit for most grocery/convenience stores, with higher content being available at liquor stores and licensed establishments (like bars). I always bring my own alcohol if I’m skiing, so idk which category a resort would fall under.
It used to be limited to 4% ABV for beers outside liquor stores, but they changed that a few years ago when beer producers decided they didn’t wanna make a special kind for Utah anymore and threatened to just leave the Utah market outright.
A lot of states have weird laws like this. Connecticut also doesn't allow you to have more than one drink at a time (at least last I knew) so if you and your friends order a shot and a beer they pour the round of shots, wait until you've all finished them, then give you the beers.
CT did away with that a long time ago afaik. Grew up there, never had that happen to me but my father remembers that. They could also go to the bars at 18...
How much money would one presume 5 beers would that it would cover this many beers? Even if you're buying at a local convenience store or at your local alcohol store this would be around $50? Who walks up to a place, sees an order of what they assume is 5 beers for that price and thinks, "Yeah that's a fair price."
Counterpoint: a lot of people on ski slopes make enough money to legitimately not even concern themselves with prices
I came here to say there was probably a context clue or three, namely the price.
I don't know this fella, but he is either so out of touch with how much things cost that he doesn't pay even the slightest attention, or (gasp) he is making up a story for the Internet.
he is making up a story for the Internet.
Or for his wife. "I swear babe, I thought it was only like, 5 beers! Oh well, now that we paid for it..."

I live in high-end tourist destination and encounter these people all the time.
Looks to be about 90 beers and they're all tall boys. Don't know where you're from, but at the cheapest -we're talking dog piss beer or malt liquor- around here, that'd be at least $150. I imagine the markup at a ski lodge would make it at least double that. Your point still stands. OP gotta be full of shit.
Less than $5/beer at a ski lodge would be unheard of, so this is like $450+. They thought one beer was $90??
I mean, going skiing costs an arm and a leg to begin with. $10 for a large beer at the mountain doesn't sound outrageous to me.
Ten bucks? Oh for beer to be so cheap at a ski lodge, haha.
Those are 90's prices.
Depends on where you go. Vail and Icon own most resorts and are expensive af. But there are more locally owned places where prices are still reasonable as of a month ago.
“It's one banana, Michael, how much could it cost? 10 dollars?”

Jesus fucking christ.
I think the tone the tweeter/Xeeter wrote in implies he's disappointed, flabagasted, maybe a little angry. This would imply he spent more money than he needed to and got more beer than he wanted, like you assume.
But for this to occur and him to actually agree to pay, what must've happened is:
Or maybe it's a reduction for clearing out stock.
Just order two now or the line won't be worth when you have to go back.
How much for a flight?
Where I'm at they won't let you leave the lodge with alcohol. I wonder if this is just a random shop at the base selling this to cover the needs of a group of mates for a long weekend or something.
Lawson's. Nice
