Canadia! :D

It was a local craft brewery that became big and bought by Molson... so now it's more "mainstream" I guess... I'm not an aficionado or knowledgeable enough on this stuff though. I'm not sure if I'd qualify it as "cheap" since it's roughly $2.80 USD a pint. So maybe it's "cheaper" but not "cheap"? :p

I typically pay no less then $5 and as much as $10-12 for a beer out. $2.80 is cheap.

Today’s beers: Miller’s Ale House - The Villages, Florida. Lagunitas IPA & Founders All Day IPA. $6.25 each. Plus Thursday’s special was prime rib with one side for $15.99.

That's a new one...what is it?

Ghost Train Brewing out of Birmingham AL

We were eating lunch at Struts in Oxford, AL. I am honestly not sure which sour it was. GT brews three. Struts is all about the wings. They just sell beer to wash em down.

Drank two Double Dogs by Flying Dog. They are 12%. I am a certain way right now.

Fortunately, I think $7 for a pint is the most I've paid at a bar or brewbub. $5-6 is common. Higher end restaurants often charge more, but I don't remember ever paying more than $10 anywhere in the US. Just returned from my local- Lost Coast Brewery & Pub where my favorite Indica IPA was $6, and my 64oz growler fill was $18. Since I'm in the mug club, I get my 20oz mug for the same $6 as the pint. :)

$10-12 would be a special limited edition. I’d say $6-8 is typical. I paid $6.25 each for full pints last night. I like to tell Mrs BV she’s a cheap date when we go somewhere for happy hour and house wine is half off at $3 a glass. Happy hour craft beers are usually $1 off.

Oh, I guess I should clarify that these weren't beers out... these were the prices at the liquor store... IIRC the markups at area restaurants is in the $5-$7 for these pints.

Thats in line with local pricing. A six pack of 12 ounce cans or bottles would run $10-11. A four pack of 16 ounce cans might be $12-13. The four packs of 16 ounce cans tend to be special, lower production runs, seasonal distribution.

I've never seen those kind of special editions, or maybe just haven't noticed. What I have noticed at a few places, is (only) serving a double or triple IPA in a 10-12oz goblet for the pint price. This bugs me to no end. In fact, I won't buy them anymore and have crossed a couple of taprooms off the "return to" list.

Been a whirlwind few weeks (newborn at home) but finally in a place to have a beer or two from time to time. Had a couple of good Oktoberfest beers recently:

Ayinger Oktoberfest
New Anthem Hundstage (Marzen/Oktoberfest beer)
Great Lakes Oktoberfest

Also had my 2nd to last Ghost in the Machine and having an 8.5% beer on minimal sleep and after a couple weeks off of alcohol is a doozy

I guess I don’t let it bother me. It’s necessary if I’m going to try every beer ever made.

Are you The Most Interesting Man in the World?

At least one woman believes that. 🥰

I'd rather drink beer out of a Dixie cup than a goblet. :)
