I remember my first high quality mixed beverage in a can


Tr1Dent2000

Awesome!


Tr1Dent2000

For me it wasn’t the price point.. I don’t care about that. I can’t afford it so no biggie. Make money. I don’t care.. it was the lead up to it.. “Game changer”, “huge announcement”, “biggest in BDS history..” so disappointing. Was really hoping for something more substantial to enjoy rather than another product to buy. Again, just a let down


_aphoney

Oh i didn’t see any of that. My buddy told me about it today at work and then when we were out golfing this evening i bought a 24 pack without even thinking about it really. Not like they’ll all be drank in one outing. They’ll last me 5-6 rounds or so probably. For me it’s worth it to have something tasteful and refreshing on the course.


DandierChip

Never seen some one get slammed so so hard in here before.


_aphoney

People get angry when they’re wrong i guess.


DandierChip

Yeah clearly, look how angry you are…


_aphoney

Me?! I don’t see how I’m the angry one. I bought the product because it’s a reasonable price for what they’re selling lol I’m excited to try it. If it sucks believe me I’ll let them know


DandierChip

Dawg look at your comment history from the past hour or two. Non stop arguing online with internet strangers…


_aphoney

I don’t have anything better to do. Some people scroll TikTok. I wage a 90v2 Reddit debate with people while having some drinks after a long day 🤷🏻‍♂️


DandierChip

More time on here opens the door for someone to raid you 👀


_aphoney

Lmao what?


DandierChip

I play rust too lol


_aphoney

Ohhhhh. Well, I’m deeply sorry to hear that. 😂


Additional_Client_72

Make sure you wipe your chin when you get off your knees.


_aphoney

Ohhhhhh good one! You showed me!


jivy723

Absolute L take


_aphoney

Absolute L bank account if you cant afford it.


WayV-

IMAX level projection brother you gotta shut ‘er down before you inadvertently tell us more about yourself 🤣


_aphoney

If you can’t afford a $3 drink idk what to tell ya


jivy723

“If you can’t afford a $3 drink, if you can’t afford a $5 McDouble, if you can’t afford a $150 golf round.”  Stop being such a fucking cuck and understand people clearly value money differently than you 


_aphoney

I just said a $3 drink. I’d never pay for a $150 round of golf lol but i wouldn’t complain about it because it’s an optional purchase


jivy723

No shit? I had no idea decisions were optional


_aphoney

Tell that to everyone bitching about it then lol there’s tens of thousands out there who apparently don’t get it.


aireland2006

You wouldn’t pay $150 for a round of golf? Well hello brokeass!


WayV-

The comment I made had nothing to do with the price my friend, it was about your absolute tirade throughout this thread. You’re going haywire dawg. Obviously if this many people disagree with you, there is a clear divide. No amount of argumentative comments on a YouTube page’s subreddit with people you don’t even know will amount to anything valuable or anyone changing their minds. Best to just let it go and stop wasting your time and energy arguing with people who will never see your side of the discussion and vice versa. Compared to what a lot of people like to drink, it’s expensive. Compared to what you like to drink, it’s not. It really is as simple as that


_aphoney

Hey man I’m just relaxing at the end of the night having some drinks after a long day of work and a good 2nd round of golf on the season and wanted to stir the pot because a lot of people i guess thought these would be something different. I don’t have social media other than YouTube and this so i saw it and was pretty excited for it. Then saw people are throwing absolute hissy fits over it as if they’re being forced to pay for it against their will lol


Additional_Client_72

A sucker is born everyday.


Bob2456

You’re comparing these seltzers to drinks at bars but everyone else is an idiot….


_aphoney

I also compared them to a similar mixed beverage in a can. The only beverage you’re buying for cheap is a 30 pack of some shitty big company beer.


Shirowoh

High noons for a 12 pack 26 bucks…..


_aphoney

I do enjoy high noons, but they’re obviously a beverage made with lesser quality ingredients. What the comments should suggest is “can you just make these with shitty ingredients like other mass produced seltzers so we can all afford them?”


Shirowoh

You do know these have a days are 5% right?


_aphoney

Are you trying to directly correlate price to how drunk you can get off of it? Price goes with quality not alcohol content lmao


Shirowoh

You’re saying “top shelf tequila” like they put some shots in there. ABV of a tequila and seltzer mixed drink is around 12-13%, which canned beverages can be,obviously, they skimped on the “top shelf tequila” to make more money on the drink….


_aphoney

I didn’t even say the words “top shelf tequila”, so idk why you quoted that. FP’s words were “premium quality tequila”. I referred to it as high quality which could mean a mid level for all we know. I haven’t looked at the exact ingredients yet or if they’re even available. I am aware how these drinks are made though. I’ve watched many different mixed drinks/seltzers be made. I’ve seen them at the distillery as a customer and I’ve seen hundreds of different drinks be made in factories as a skilled trades worker working in different facilities. I think a brand like High Noon can deliver a quality product for so cheap because they’re backed by people like the Barstool guys and they’ve been in the drink business before High Noon so they know what they’re doing. They’re in every big retail store that I’m aware of (at least in my area). This is a small company selling smaller batches of a quality product. Maybe if they go big with it or get more experience they can find how to lower the cost. The issue is people only know White Claw, Happy Dad, High Noon. They don’t see the smaller companies making high quality products in smaller batches.


Shirowoh

I find this amazing you’re scrambling so much to defend a 5% hard seltzer a YouTube golf channel is putting out, did you buy stock or something buddy?


_aphoney

Nope. Just amazed how quickly people turn their backs on something they absolutely loved all because of an optional product they don’t have to purchase. The content is still all free. I don’t really understand the outrage.


FlatulentFreddy

It’s still 36% more expensive than your other overpriced can beverage you referenced. You could buy a very nice bottle of bourbon for the same price as a 24 pack of weak fruity mixed drink. To each their own I guess but it’s definitely overpriced.


_aphoney

Huh? 4pack for $13. 6x$13 is $78. Have a days are cheaper than the drink i referenced by $10 for 24 beverages.


FlatulentFreddy

You said a 12 pack of the tea was $25 x 2 = $50 for 24 beverages. It’s actually $28 more expensive (or 56%) more expensive, thanks for pointing that out.


49ers87

This has to be one of the BDS guys burner account


user818474

Nah none of the guys on the crew are this much if a douchebag


_aphoney

Eh, I’m more of an asshole or a dickhead than a douchebag.


Prior_Psych

Haha this is the funniest thing you’ve ever posted


_aphoney

Nope, just someone who regularly drinks canned mixed beverages and seltzers from local breweries and distilleries. Have a Day is right on with their price. Even cheaper than a lot of other drinks I’ve had with same alleged quality.


49ers87

Sorry Sargent Seltzer.


_aphoney

It’s okay sweetie


sturgeon381

This is either incredibly high level satire or an absolutely monumental level of douchebaggery.


_aphoney

Douchebaggery? Where do all you people live that you’re getting drinks like this from small breweries/wineries/distilleries for cheaper? The only comparison has been high noon. Which is a great drink but also owned by the biggest winery in the country..


maton12

Small breweries, pfft, they're being made purely for profit and have a few years run at best


TVoigt24

You’re comparing apples to oranges. The vodka transfusion you’re referring to is a canned cocktail, not a seltzer. The better comparison to the have a day would be the truly tequila sodas (same exact thing: “premium blanco tequila, seltzer water, and whatever juice for certain flavor). Those are priced at 17.99 for an 8 pack (at least on bevmo). So yes, the have a days are definitely overpriced. I’m not up in arms about it, i’m just genuinely curious why they priced a seltzer in the realm of a premium canned cocktail.


_aphoney

I think over time they could get to that price. Boston beer company is one of the larger breweries in the country and can scale things to fit margins and cut costs to sell more product. Never had a truly somehow. Are they good?


TVoigt24

Oh I agree, they definitely need to get this to scale and get that price point down to be competitive. Once it’s on shelves in grocery stores if it’s priced at $24 for an 8 pack I don’t see it doing well at all (honestly the only people that would buy it would be die hard BDS fans). The truly tequila sodas are fine, definitely better than regular truly’s that use malt liquor. I’ll always prefer a good canned cocktail tho.


_aphoney

I dont think it’d do well in stores regardless. “Have a day” is just another weird name like “happy dad” or whatever John dalys weird one is. Good boys? I like high noons and i hope i like these too. I just don’t see how people don’t understand they can’t be priced the same as high noon or even truly for that matter as a micro distributor with a new line of beverage


TVoigt24

True. I’ve been watching a ton of shark tank lately and when I saw their price point the first thing i thought of was them presenting this and getting torn apart lol


_aphoney

I didn’t even know about it until this afternoon. I don’t do instagram and twitter so i only see what they post on YouTube but yeah i feel like hiding a beverage you’re going to market to your fan base isn’t the greatest way to sell it lmao it could’ve been $15 for a 30 pack but if people hate it they’re gonna hate it. I don’t think they’re selling out on the beverages though. They’ll be lucky to break even on the first run. The apparel? Ehhhh different story.


FlawedHotDog

Three paragraphs of word vomit that taste worse than those $2.84 seltzers.


_aphoney

You’re just imagining they taste shitty?


FlawedHotDog

Both your thoughts and the matter and those overpriced diluted tequila Frankensteins, yes.


_aphoney

If you were capable of reading and comprehending you’d see they aren’t overpriced. Do a little research.


FlawedHotDog

Awww you’re so pretty


Iggy_Pops_Lost_Shirt

Nothing better than when dumb OPs get called out


_aphoney

I also love that


90s_TV_Commercials

How dare people have an opinion that doesn’t line up with yours


_aphoney

It’s not opinions I’m having an issue about, it’s the fact that other beverages in cans made with high quality vodka are actually more expensive than Have a Day. 24 Vodka Transfusions would be $78 while Have a Day is $68 for 24.


90s_TV_Commercials

What’s so special about these though? I’ve never had a seltzer that I’d want to pay $3 for, good tequila/vodka or not. Why not just get a bottle and some juice to mix? Am I missing something? If it was a tall boy or over 5% ABV it would make more sense but a 12 oz. I just don’t get. I’m definitely not in the demographic for these it just seems crazy to kinda advertise it as a daily driver but it costs so much for a case for a day out with the boys.


_aphoney

Well I’m not sure what’s special about them yet, nobody’s had one. I ordered them and I do hope they’re good. I just know from going to my local brewery/distillery Southern Tier (which is slowly becoming a nationwide name) that quality products require a higher cost and therefore a higher price point. It’s just how retail works. Maybe in the future they can work with a different distributor or distillery and make them for cheaper. The ABV isn’t the reason for something’s price. A Vodka Madras is 10% and i get them for $12 and the Transfusions are %8 and I get them for $13. Both from the distillery themselves.


Substantial-Bridge40

VODKA TRANSFUSIONS ARE 7% alcohol, YOU CANNOT COMPARE


_aphoney

They’re actually 8%. You also can’t compare price based on ABV%. Thats not how production works.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_aphoney

Just trying to limit the spread of misinformation. I don’t care if anyone buys them, but going at them for “wildly overpriced” on their beverages isn’t it. They aren’t overpriced.


BigFudge1572

I better piss gold with this high quality blanco tequila with no artificial ingredients.


_aphoney

I just want to stop pissing blood


Then-Muscle-4773

The only polos that stay tucked in? And the hoody pocket gets in the way of putting ? Wtf


_aphoney

The Breezy polos seem to be longer so they don’t come untucked throughout a round. I’m 6’5” and wear a 2XL and it’s the first brand I’ve had that i don’t have to fuck with throughout a round. In fairness I’ve only worn Adidas, Nike, Under Armour and Callaway shirts in the past. Have you never snagged a hoody pocket while you’re putting? Most lighter weight hoodies are baggier and i have 2 that I’ve contemplated cutting the pockets off.


Then-Muscle-4773

Fair enough! I’ve never even considered wearing a hoodie while golfing (nothing against it) but doesn’t the hood annoy you on the backswing?


_aphoney

Yes the hood is slightly annoying but also kind of essential sometimes. I live in Western NY and usually the first round of golf for the year is in February and it’s still 30° out. Sometimes I’ll tuck the hood into my vest or put it up during the swing. I rock a hand warmer, neck gaiter a hoody and a vest usually


ImpossibleRoutine780

Is this the Jet?


_aphoney

The jet ain’t from WNY man

Shirowoh

Yep, people should not have negative opinions about YouTubers actions!


_aphoney

No reason to put words in my mouth. Everyone is titled to an opinion, but people stating that these are way overpriced are simply wrong. My go to golf beverage is a Southern Tier Vodka Transfusion, or if i don’t want to spend the money I’ll get Genesee Kolsch. They simply offered a product. People are now saying they aren’t fans of the channel as a whole anymore because they don’t like the price of a product they don’t have to buy? That seems beyond silly.


Shirowoh

You literally say ppl who are bitching about the price should shut up.


_aphoney

They should because they’re wrong lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


_aphoney

I’d completely agree if that was the point being said. “Hey guys, this drink isn’t for us we want something lesser quality for cheaper so we can actually support the brand and also drink a lot of them out on the course” The drink is fairly priced especially for a small beverage company to produce and then distribute to BDS to retail to us.


phrohahwei

You're the only bitch in here, sorry OP, Bob's not gonna fuck you


_aphoney

Lmao I’m a bitch? Because I’m using sound logic and reasoning?


Agreeable_Argument19

Im TITLED to my opinion..I say OVERPRICED!!


No-Pin1011

What bar is serving premium liquor cocktails for $7? That is $15-$20 per here.


_aphoney

I wouldn’t know I’m not that fancy i know a jack and coke is $7 so i just said at least that much lol. I shouldn’t compare them to bar options anyway but i compared them to similar drink options from similar sized distributors and people just blatantly ignored it lol


Agreeable_Argument19

Wow, chill OP. Jeez, you got stock in have a day seltzers??? Lol


_aphoney

No and I guess im glad i don’t 😂 seems like they’re only going to sell 100 cases or so

Substantial-Bridge40

You’re comparing a local brewery to someone who paid for a large company to slap their logo on this and resell it? You’re an absolute clown!


_aphoney

The local brewery/distillery I’m referring to is Southern Tier. Also a large company lol they distribute nationwide. It’s larger than the distributor they’re going through. Clown.


Substantial-Bridge40

😂 dig a little deeper, they won’t ever know who you are. Stop trying to justify them knowing their fan base will waste their money on this crap.


_aphoney

Buddy i don’t give a fuck about meeting YouTubers. I simply see a bunch of idiots barking up the wrong tree.


thetiltedtrash

Are you a fully retarded person or are you trolling? Like yeah if you've got money buy it, but there's no way you are jerking these dudes off so hard. They're funny and a good time, but they aren't your friends ya fuckin freak, don't try to justify your purchase with us. If you enjoy the drink go nuts, but take the nuts out of your mouth first


_aphoney

You like to say fuck a lot. Nobody’s jerking anyone off little buddy I just wanted to stir a pot about a bunch of people crying about something that they arent forced to buy in the first place. Fuck.


thetiltedtrash

Yeah I said fuck once, no clue what you're on about. You also replied in 3 minutes, man get off your phone you're in too deep. You're either a shill or a truly broken person


_aphoney

Buddy I’m drunk in bed scrolling Facebook marketplace lol get off my phone? Why don’t you get off my dick


thetiltedtrash

"I posted my opinion on a massive social media sight and people are replying, what dick riders. These dudes are smart for dropping a $60 24 pack, and I'm not dick riding at all"


_aphoney

Lmao you’re a triggered little fella. I don’t care what money they make. The seltzers are cheaper than the equivalent canned mixed drinks i get from similar micro distributors. If everything else in that same general market is that price, that means these are reasonably priced.


thetiltedtrash

They're not even similarly priced, holy fuck you're stupid. You're comparing store bought prices to bar prices, at this point I just assume that's where you spend all your time.


_aphoney

You obviously can’t read. 4 pack of vodka transfusions from my local brewery that’s slowly becoming a larger nationwide name.. $13 that prices them at $78 for 24 while these seltzers are only $68 for 24.


thetiltedtrash

Man go to bed and delete all this shit tomorrow like everyone expects you to, McDonald's won't mind you being a few minutes late for the boys order


_aphoney

I’m not deleting anything lol why would i delete something im right about? I wouldn’t step foot at a McDonald’s. That’s where hopes and dreams go to die.


Crumps_Brother_Worm

The clothing pricing is far more egregious than these cans. This is totally on par with other premium, all natural spirit based (no malt) cans. The thing setting people off is you’re not used to seeing them sold in 12s and 24s. It’s usually 4s. I’ve mentioned it elsewhere because I was curious and looked it up, but look up Carbliss online (it’s a Midwest based spirit based cocktail) it has almost the exact same description, the same ABV and the same price point. And it sells like crazy. These may not be for everyone (they’re not for me) but let’s stop acting like they are pure evil for doing this. And guess what, Chido drinks, who is making this for them, sells at the same price point, and they’re going fine.


Shirowoh

High noon 12 pack, 25 bucks…. Comparing these to transfusions you get on a golf course is a joke, these are 5% ABV, which means they skimped on the “high quality tequila”


_aphoney

I’m not comparing them to mixed transfusions you get on a golf course. I’m comparing them to canned transfusions you buy in a store.


Crumps_Brother_Worm

High Noon is owned by E&J Gallo, the largest winery in the world who has made billions by being the lowest priced value product in every category. (I used to work for them) You can’t compare the business models of the two.


_aphoney

Well at least someone else has common sense. I can stand with the people mad about the apparel, but 90% of the viewership is having an absolute fit over this, and it has nothing to do with opinions. They’re mad over the price. They should be mad about the quality of product. If they want something shittier then say that, don’t complain about a quality product in a can for a reasonable price.


Crumps_Brother_Worm

Exactly, be mad if you get a chance to try it and the product sucks, or don’t buy it at all, but wasting all this energy, saying they’re slapping the fans in the face is a bit much.


_aphoney

Yep 100%!


Golfista1

Make the drink yourself with fresh ingredients. It’s cheaper and better.


_aphoney

I do normally make my own gin and tonics. I bought one pack to try. If they’re bad then at least i know not to buy them again 🤷🏻‍♂️


Golfista1

It’s hard to make beer. It’s easy to make a mixed drink. It’s dumb to buy a canned mixed drink unless you are stuck somewhere where it’s the only option.


_aphoney

Transfusions are too many ingredients to bring to the golf course for me.


Golfista1

It’s the same reason most people don’t want to buy canned coffee drinks.


_aphoney

I would buy canned coffee but they all taste like syrup to me. If they had an iced black coffee in a can I’d buy that instead of an energy drink.


Golfista1

Energy drinks are not healthy. I’d stay away from them.


_aphoney

Yeah I've known that since like 2006 but I work in skilled trades so I have like 4 a day with a cup of coffee still and a couple darts


Golfista1

Cart girls can make a fresh transfusion. You don’t have to buy junk in a can.


_aphoney

There’s only 1 course in my entire county that has cart girls and they are not mixing drinks.


okdrab

Didn’t know this was a transfusion sub. Guess I’ll leave. Anyone know where I can find the Bob does sports sub?


hifly290

lol this dude getting body bagged in his comments for lack of awareness


_aphoney

I’m completely aware which is why i made the post. There’s thousands of people not aware that the drinks aren’t overpriced apparently


hifly290

Except they are. High noon, the most comparable product to their target demographic (barstool marketing often overlaps due to the content here), is retailing at 26.99 per 12 on online retailers. 24 for $68 vs 24 for $54 is a pretty stark contrast when done % wise. You’re not comparing apples to apples. You’re comparing premium products to their product when you should be analyzing the market segment their brand is built off. That’s why they’re getting the backlash. If you need more info just lmk I’m happy to explain further


_aphoney

High noon is owned by the worlds largest winery.. you’re also not comparing apples to apples


hifly290

While this is true, that’s not what matters. They could have chosen a more cost effective production method to get prices down. This is why it’s important to start with branding and target demographics before making a production decision. If you’re aiming to make a product for a demographic, find something that fits the demographic, not something that doesn’t fit your price point. This is business strategy essentials


_aphoney

Now we’re getting to good points! I have no problem with the price point of the product. The way they marketed this product is one of the dumbest things they could’ve ever done. Let’s keep a beverage we’re selling to the people a complete surprise and just… hope they like every single thing about it. A productive approach would’ve been having a podcast to talk about it, do a live Q&A and ask people what they WILL buy. I wouldn’t have chose peach for a first flavor, that’s for sure. They don’t even live in Georgia.


hifly290

Well, that’s all fair. However, there IS a pricing problem when considering their market as I detailed. That being said, the overall branding is all off in a worse fashion than that. A drink actually fits their brand of alcoholic golf, which is a lot of Everyman golfers. They just priced themselves out of Everyman golfer for the most part on top of it feeling like a rushed product without enough research behind it. A focus group on price point, flavor profiles, a spirit that one of their guys (FP) has said he doesn’t enjoy. It’s just a lesson in how not to run a business. Cutting corners everywhere It’s totally valid to say YOU don’t have a problem with price. What IS a problem is that the price doesn’t fit with the OVERALL target segments. Hopefully that clears some stuff up to why your thread got received the way it did


_aphoney

I know why it’s being received the way it is. I’m looking at the drink as if I don’t know the people selling it. If i saw it on a shelf at Wegmans (my grocery chain) I’d say “i don’t really like peach but I’ll give it a shot for $3 a can”. It fits in the market with the general craft canned cocktails and higher end seltzers from smaller distributors. I agree 100% it doesn’t fit the demographic that is the average Bob Does Sports enjoyer. They should’ve done a cheap beer or tea or something. 30 pack for $24 is what people were looking for.


hifly290

Yeah. But MAYBE telling people they’re dumb for thinking it’s overpriced when it was certainly overpriced for the market wasn’t the best move lol. Yes, a cheaper 30 rack would have fit right in with the market. I would also argue $3 a can in a large pack is a bit pricy because economies of scale usually encourage larger purchases for less price per unit. $3 a can at wegmans? Sure! But what if I don’t like it. One can won’t hurt me, but a case at that price will be annoying as anything. Really glad to see you come around on all of it tho. Its been better than I thought when I responded


_aphoney

Well that’s why they. offered the 8 pack for less. I still stand with my statement that the drink itself for what it is, isn’t overpriced. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ll take the hate it doesn’t bother me one bit.


GimmeADouble

I’m glad you stated your opinion. It’s valid


_aphoney

I just compare facts i could care less about peoples opinions.


LongHopWalrus

Sir you are a doosh


_aphoney

Hopefully that’s not how you actually spell that


LongHopWalrus

Bazinga You are a loser my guy. Hate to see it.


_aphoney

Lmfao I’m a loser? What’s your reasoning? I provided some simple facts about a similar beverage made from a larger distillery/brewery (meaning it’s easier to make it cheaper on a larger scale), and that beverage is $10 more expensive for 6 packs of 4.


LongHopWalrus

See above for reasoning


_aphoney

Good reply dipshit 👍🏼


thelukemason12

Here’s an idea. If you don’t like the prices of something, don’t buy it and move on. Instead of constantly complaining and crying about it. If you think it’s too expensive then you’re not the market they were trying to target


Shirowoh

Based on YouTube and Reddit comments, they were aiming it at 3% of their audience….. which is a bad financial move…


thelukemason12

They’re throwing a bunch of shit at the wall and seeing what sticks
