for what is referred to ass tall boys actually its a fairly reasonable price considering they are giving 20% of the sales to the swarm
thats $11 per case going to the swarm, that leaves the ones selling that beer $44 per case which 24 cans divided into $44 is $1.83 per can now the seller is entitled to make some money just for selling the beer.
its been a long time since I bought any Beer, but that is a extremely low price even if it is just for a case of 12 ounce cans.
since I am unable to go shopping I will ask my wife to price a couple of different cases to see what their cases are costing to compare price because its now got me curious.
Alkies like you drink anything including rubbing alcohol.
You can't even afford swill on your allowance.
The Bettendorf Hy-Vee had them at $10.99 for a tallboy 4 pk
I think we understand the extra is going to contribute to NIL. Maybe you don’t get that. It’s like hey we want the best facilities, but I don’t want to help pay!!!
I’ll go pick up a couple today! In my neck of the woods!
Exactly and smart frankly. I like it. Not heavy. Can consume more. Waiting on that Vodka now!!
Picked up a couple 4 packs at the HyVee in Davenport off Utica Ridge today!
A little pricey for a 4-pack but for a good cause.
Please give us an update on prices. It appears that Hy-Vee has set their price at $10.99 for a tallboy 4 pk.
Are they selling cases or 12 pack cans (12 oz cans)?
and then what is the sales tax rate?
Chad Greenway was not interested in a vodka partnership
The SWARM vodka should be available for purchase by the end of the month

I traveled from STL area & bought the last 4, said they got 32 in & sold out almost instantly! go hawks!
Stuff like that should be kept quiet unless the former player makes a public statement.
It's a form of public shaming.
He will probably do several pod cast on it now.
Yes, they had a full pallet. And yes, it was also a $10.99 for a 4 pack.
I agree. They should have just made a light lager. There really is no way to go light with ALE. Top fermenting beers usually fall flat (like this stuff) when trying to make it light.
I agree with this, though I was a bit surprised they didn’t go with a lager. That would seem to be more in tune with a tailgate and stadium volume beer. That being said, Swarm is a very good light ale that should be popular at Kinnick.
it's going to be interesting to see how this all evolves; Exile can barely keep up with demand right now
not sure who's producing the vodka; that comes out by the end of the month
makes you wonder how much money this will raise annually
maybe AOL, but just posted that SWARM beer has already raised 30k for the NIL.
should be way more than 300k, distribution was pretty limited.wow; over $300,000 per year sure would be sweet!
maybe we can buy a MBB player now
great point; and SWARM vodka is coming soon!
also, people keep asking if SWARM beer will ever be found at Hy-Vees in the 7 other states outside Iowa. Imagine if that happens. I know posters like @kceasthawk would buy it in KC and @skydog0784 would buy it in MPLS/St Paul.
Hell yes! Besides supporting the swarm, it would be a great addition to my beer can collection! I have a pretty large collection including foreign cans and a couple dozen original cone tops from the 20's I have some BlackHawk cone tops from the old Davenport brewery that are in pretty nice condition.
do you hammer a hole into the bottom and drain the can? that used to be the way people did it IIRC....or maybe you don't even open them?
Lol... No, not those. Those are the cans that had the pop tops you used to pull off. The cone tops looked like old Heat cans if you remember those before they went into plastic bottles. They had a cap like a bottle. Not sure if they were twist off or used a church key. The ones I have the beer was already out of them. I used to send away to the brewerys when I was a kid trying to get them to send me cans as well. Lonestar in Texas sent a package with three cans. One was a really cool red and gold can called Brut beer. Well the kicker is they never actually released Brut beer, nationally anyway, so the cans worth several hundred dollars...
There would be non-fans that would not know any better and purchase it.
We need more creative names. Like Bone Crushing Stout and such.
Or Swarm Full Back Dive Pilsner
30 grand won't even get IA in the door, it will take at least $300,000 to get these players to listen, then when it gets to 1/2 a mill they will shut the door.
remember Bama paid Proctor $2,600,000 ti flip from IA . 30 g's is not even a drop in the bucket compared to the big money programs,
like what they are doing but they are going to need help and a lot of it. they need a few donator to give $5,000,000 all at once. and the more like this to really make it close.

30 grand in one month is great if you ask me. $360k a year. I would expect the initial buzz spikes that some, but their distribution probably isn’t near 100% either. That’s without having to hit up a single donor.

up until the swarm liquer reaches 2,000,000 per year the single donors are going to be the main source of money for the swarm.
Once distribution expands they will raise a decent amount more per month. They are doing damn good already for where it's at right now. Exile will make the beer that sells the most. I would guess they would not brew another rotational beer or two to make more Swarm if the demand keeps growing and distribution expands. They won't sell more of it than they do in des Moines, Iowa city, cedar rapids etc though so it will be interesting to see how things Play out.
Well, yes, but the idea is to take the pressure off of the donors with some renewable income. I don’t get how you can be disappointed with this news. Did you expect them to pull in 5 million a year on booze sales?
When they first launched this, they said if it’s as popular as Ruthie it would mean hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Swarm. I guess I don’t know what everyone’s expectations were, but this seems already like a home run.
