In CA buying 2 with no tax but 1 you'll pay tax. Don't know the logic behind it.
Here's a breakdown by state (although it hasn't updated the CA rule to the new $2000 cutoff yet)

I can guarantee you $2000 worth of bud light bought today will not be worth anything in 10 years.

Baahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah that beer is absolutely not worth more than you paid, and definitely not worth considerably more. The secondary beer market has been dead for a while now. The only beer that may be worth more than what you paid would be certain lambic. Even those, no.
I never said buying pre-made beer is an investment decision.

First of all, that beer is not an 11 year old ale, it's the 10th anniversary beer for rev brewing. You did not put the ingredients into the beer. What you put into it was buying it from the store.
However, let's just pretend that you said it's worth more than the ingredients cost, so is gold. It's worth more than what it costs to mine it.
No, you didn't. You said "I am currently aging an 11-year-old ale that is worth considerably more than what I put into it, but I disgress".

1. I have an 11 year old barley wine aging in my house. I made it. It is worth considerably more than the grain bill from when I produced it
2. I posted an example of an "old ale" so that you would know that the style of beer exists. Im pretty sure that beer I linked hasn't even been put out for sale yet.
"put into it"=ingredients.
As for the mining? Not really.
If the value of the gold was significantly more than the mining, then we would have a gold rush scenario. Meaning that companies would be going crazy trying to squeeze out gold from every rock
Instead, we see the largest gold mining operation actively selling off mines: https://www.bloomberg.c
Now, are they profitable? Sure. But not outrageously profitable.
They are profitable as Target or many other companies.
But here is the difference. They will lose their asses if gold prices crater. Gold is mostly used for jewelry(45% of the market). If jewelry production goes down and goldbugs like you don't start buying, we will quickly see the price of gold crater, as it did in the past. Why? Because gold's value only exists in the market and the market can be fickle.
Beer on the other hand? Beer has stayed pretty consistent in pricing for thousands of years.
In fact, beer was so important to the Romans that they put it on their gold coins.I suppose in hopes that the very important beer would lend some value to their worthless gold
But, don't trust me, I've only actually worked in the metal mining/refining industry. What would I know
