Okay, thanks for the heads up. I'm selling my beer company stocks first thing Monday morning. ;)

You beer drinkers would faint if I told you how much a medium glass of French white "house" wine cost in the deli last week. Fortunately, I wasn't paying (look, I'll go out with anyone who'll feed me - I'm just a bit picky about who I stay in with!).
 
Yeah, but beer and wine are not the same....

I graduated from buying $5 bottles of wine a few years back to spending $10-$15 a bottle currently.... I know, I've still have a long ways to go.... :LOL:

How much do you guys figure is expensive for beer? We buy an imported German beer called Wernesgrüner, that we like a lot. We often get it for Cdn $7.99 for four 500 ml cans

Ordering a glass of "French white" in many parts of Texas could lead to bodily harm.

As for beer, one of the last words out of a Texan as he dies is "beer." It goes something like this... "Hold my beer and watch this."

Whether I'm buying beer or wine for home drinking, I think of how much that glass of brew or wine would cost if we were out. Right then, the price looks like a real bargain!

Hey, that goes double for a good steak. I can buy a USDA prime ribeye for about fourteen bucks, cook it to perfection, grill some asparagus and make some garlic mashed potatoes -- total cost, less than 20 bucks.

Same meal at a prime steakhouse, around 100 bucks. Not to mention what you said about wine -- add 20 bucks at the prime steakhouse for that glass of wine.

Cheap beer is about. 2.2 Dollar at the Alcohol store, in the pub cheap beer is about 7 dollar.

My favorite cost 11 dollar for 250 ml....
 
I find that to be true with "Craft Beer". Most of the major brands that I buy are always having sales. Personally I'm not fond of "Craft Beer". I also can't stand bud, bud light or busch. I really like Abita products, especially Amber, Purple Haze and Andygator.

Restaurant prices for alcohol is about 4 to 5 times what you can buy it in a store. Unlike food, there is practically no labor required to prepare and serve alcohol. I recall reading that the restaurant markup is less on quality beef than on other foods, as the menu price would be too high. There is a high priced steakhouse in town that has a couple of steak dinners over $50 (who can eat a 20 oz. prime cowboy ribeye at $72?), but most good restaurants here have entrees in the $25 - $40 range.

It's rare when I make a dinner at home where the ingredients cost more than a McMeal. Even lobster and steamers is less than $15 per person.
 
For a guy who has enjoyed beer for most of my life, I don't drink it too often any more.. I like the 7oz bottles now and the only brand available here is Coronas, Coronita Extra.. Bought some this morning @ 6.29 a 6pak..
Will last me a week or two..

Beer is getting expensive so I think I'm going to stop buying beer.

I guess you don't like beer much?

Well, I'll stop buying some stuff then..but not beer..

Agree. Even when trying to loose weight, beer stays on the menu. I take the carbs out with other foods. I could not imagine not having beer to drink. I'm having one with my lunch right now. Bud Light in a can.

I use the same thinking about football. I spend $300 a season to get every game during the regular season. Going to one game with my wife would be more than double that.
So, I get the NFL Sunday Ticket to watch my team each Sunday.
And yes, I will drink a few beers.

I will drink any kind of beer. I like light beers in a the Pilsner category. I do not like the dark heavy beers and craft beers.
I want to drink it, not make a meal out of it.
Some of those darker beers will fill you up so fast, you will not have room for food.

I can get Natural Light for $14.47 a case. 24 12 oz cans. I prefer can over bottle and have no idea why.
But I always get cans for the home fridge and drink cans at my pool bar.

My wife likes Corona. In the bottle. I love Dos Equis dark on tap in an ice cold mug at Mexican restaurants. Seems every Mexican restaurant serves it.
It does not taste heavy and is smooth as silk.
