      I’ve seen some alcohol go up a fair bit… a bog Jim Beam pint used to be $9 around Denver and now is $11-14 at many places, and a lousy half pint of Vidal Sassoon or whatever (oh, Paul Masson) went from $4 to $6. Depends on the state and the store though I guess.

        Beer has definitely gone up in price. Grain prices have gone up a lot since the start of the Ukraine war. Was just talking to some brewer friends about their grain bills for beer and cost per keg at my local taproom.

        Whiskey has just been going up in price for the past decade. I did just pick up a handle of Beam for the holidays and I doing remember it being that crazy expensive at Argonaut

          I’d imagine. That was just one I’ve bought over the past year so I knew the prices.

        Denver is a pretty bad place to compare alcohol prices price, but even still, that is so much less than everything else.
