A Public Apology to Fritz Rahr

Fritz,

I’m sorry I said what I did during Podcast Episode 9. Literally the day after we recorded that show, I ran into Mark and Jamie downtown and they clued me in to what was going on with the pricing. I should have known that you can’t control the price at retail, and it doesn’t surprise me at all that some retailers would take advantage of your success and quality product by marking it up beyond all reason. I still highly recommend your beers when I’m out with friends or encounter someone who needs guidance while at the store.

PS: The Oktoberfest has really grown on me, as well! I like that it’s more balanced than what we typically get, and while I am still a die-hard fan of malty beers, your Oktoberfest is an excellent alternative to those overly sweet offerings from other folks. I can’t wait for Winter Warmer!
