Gotta love it. At least he's asking for good beer.

 

[smgleitch]

[kenfxj]

Damn. And I just GIVE stuff away. <smacks own forehead> Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

 

[sephiroth.rahl]

man, I wish I lived nearby, just to make that deal

I took a 12 pack of beer for a $50 drop on my bass cabinet.....I really wanted the beer!

 

[M0ses]

That's a pretty darn good deal!

There's an odd phenomena with beer. You can buy a good beer for about $2-3 a bottle, but when someone gives it to you it feels like it's worth about $5-10.

Agreed. Beer that's gifted is even better. There's no easier way to make a friend for life.

Honestly, though. I really can't understand the rest of the world's fascination with beer. That stuff tastes just horrid! Worse than coffee. I'd rather be sober.

If I lived nearby and had beer, I'd probably tell the poster keep the cables and go have a beer/play some music with him(he's likely a musician considering that he's got such varied lengths of instrument cable laying around that he can part with).

When I read the title of this, I thought it was some kind of sound comparison and was very intrigued.

This is what I have never understood about clubs. Give the musicians free beer and their eyes light up. It costs the bar next to nothing and gets them much more good will then the monetary value of the beer.

Because in a bar, it is.

Awesome, you can drive!

It depends. If it's draft, then it doesn't cost the bar much. But by the bottle, it would cost a bit more depending on how much the band drinks.

So say you have a heavy drinker that drinks 12 beers in a night. At about $3 a bottle at the store, it comes out to $36 for the night, which unfortunately is not out of the realm of possibility for a band member to make in a night nowadays. If the guy has 24 in a night, then the gig pays $72 which ain't too bad. But, I wouldn't want to be the guy or around a guy who had 24 beers.

Now if you're going draft, then the bar makes a killing. It probably only costs them around $.35-.50 a beer. The band can drink a 100 beers and it only costs them under $50.

IMO, the bar kinda reduces the value of a beer. For example, buy a friend or lady a $5 beer at the bar, and they treat it like a $5 beer or maybe even less. But outside of the bar, it's different. For example giving your friend a sixer of a good beer that costs $12 for helping you move to your new apartment, gives the feeling of $40 in value.

I dunno, this is beer math and economics so there's bound to be something wrong with my equation.

It's the thought that counts, right?

That's the kind of math I understand. Horridly delicious beer math.
