So apparently the guy that wrote this story has no clue about the greatness of boutique/micro breweries, and what we, people who love good beer, will do and pay, for a good pint. No matter what the economy is doing.
He also hasn’t spent much time in a liquor store, let alone one that caters to people with taste and money. There are many beers that are between 10-20 USD per bottle. This may seem shocking to some, especially those who don’t drink anything but Old Milwaukee’s Best, or Bud, but it really isn’t that odd.
Now, most craft beers aren’t that expensive, but someone will always push the envelope.
Either way, we all know a good beer is worth fighting for and going poor for.
To good beer. May it never run dry.
