Santa dropped this into my stocking Christmas morning and it quickly became one of my favorite sippers. My wife doesn't know the difference between the cheapest brandy and high quality bourbon, so I was beyond impressed with her pick.

I tried that straight off the still this summer, good stuff !!! They have an interesting strategy, basically the opposite of buffalo trace. All their barrel houses are only 3 stories with pretty much the same temp throughout. Buffalo trace has tall barrel houses and they age the barrels at different heights for different temps. 4 roses wants consistent product time after time, Buffalo ages barrels at different temps for different flavors

Had one at a restaurant yesterday for $3 on draft! Can’t hardly beat that price 

@TnRiver46 Correct me if I’m speaking out of my arse on this. My family and I visited your absolutely beautiful state last year and when in Nashville I ordered a locally brewed I.p.a. My wife ordered a bottle of ?Miller Lite? and both were $10.00 dollars apiece. When I questioned the server I was informed by her that this is the way it works that any and all beers were that price at that particular establishment. I then proceeded to purchase some beer for our cabin again a locally brewed I.p.a.  for me and ?miller lite?for my wife and noticed the same type of comparable prices at the liquor store which blew my mind.

Ah. It is very evident where you went wrong: Nashville.

I’m kicking off a 4 day weekend and watching an extremely boring football game so I figured why not?. This is part of a mixed 12 pack that I’ve enjoyed in the past with this being a new addition to some of my favorites. Not a fan of the new addition ?

Good stuff!!! I visited their second brewery in NC this September 

[Eric 26]

@TnRiver46 So I figured the prices were raised being a tourist location and all but I’m curious what is an average cost for say a case of Miller Lite costs in your area? I ask because my wife and I were really impressed with your state overall.

24 miller lites should run you bout 30 dollars I would imagine, maybe less. we will have to check with @12poundbassNashville got wildly popular for people moving to about 3-4 years ago and the price of everything quadrupled. I can’t even afford to park there, last time i went was 2009 

ok just looked it up I think it’s more like 20-25, 17.99 at total wine 

 

[TnRiver46]

@Eric 26, it may be about a dollar a can after checking a few other stores

$12.73 for an 18 pack here, add $1.80 deposit (10 cent deposit per can here in Michigan). 
 

Great taste, less filling, easy on the wallet, and only 96 calories! There’s my corporate sales pitch. ?

It’s actually cheaper for you if you factor in the dividends Miller Brewing  is sending you every month for frequent drinker miles

Made the road trip down to to Costco and always look for something our local stores don't typically carry. Found this one and although it gets a little hate for the lower proof and price I thought it was alright, alright, alright.

If you have to drink bourbon out of a Yeti are you a real bourbon drinker?
