Man, our beer is expensive over there. When we had Shepp Danny over, we bought a 12 pack of PBR for $9 for the occasion.
I'm beginning to realize that I just really, really like Stouts.
Is it really that surprising, though? It's still an import, even if it's a swill import. I do like PBR for occasional drinking, but it's not high quality stuff.
Hey, for comparison's sake, Cobbler, or any Australian, how much is Sam Adams?
Bought a carton of Sam Adams for the amount dan_smee said and had to preserve it vigilantly. For comparison's sake, I normally buy the most common pale ale here, Coopers, which tends to be $45, or if I'm feelin' cheap, you can get the nastiest European stuff like Hollandia for just over $30 in the right places. Sam Adams and Brooklyn Lager is about $9 a bottle in a bar. Nobody drinks Bud but you can find it pretty easy. Sierra Nevada is fairly common too and similarly overpriced, most of the other American beers you find here are craft. It's not just beer, everything American tends to be expensive here.
I weep every time I go to the beer store that I can't get Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in Canada.
I have no idea if it's legitimately a "good" beer or not.
That shit is tasty and reminds me of drinking on the beach in Santa Monica so it becomes extra delicious.
