You want to see high, go to ChurchKey in DC. THEY are crazy.<br /><br />As far as best beer bars in the country, I highly recommend taking a look at the Birch Bar in Norfolk, Virginia (I still find it funny saying that Norfolk has a great bar). The owners keep all beers at under $9 and under a pour (which is good Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432833055517974824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-47640672493017329812012-11-29T09:12:29.688-08:002012-11-29T09:12:29.688-08:00Well, gobble, gobble indeed.

"Under four euros" strikes me rather high. In the Bavarian countryside, a half liter is usually between €1.70 and €2.30. In Bamberg, prices are roughly 50 cents to one euro higher. In Munich, it could be up to two euros higher.<br /><br />Secondly, a half liter is mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391986396999558718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-36225874095307402022012-11-28T07:48:15.389-08:002012-11-28T07:48:15.389-08:00Mike, wrong again: http://www.blogger.com/comment....Mike, wrong again: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21271644&postID=6121890075852513573&isPopup=true<br /><br />I also answered your question about which kolsches I tried.

He's not really seeing any of the markup as Cantillon sells their stuff relatively cheap. It's not until it hits distribution here in the states that the prices skyrocket.Rich Isaacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356872043234492112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-76977593282594891042012-11-26T13:49:36.488-08:002012-11-26T13:49:36.488-08:00In a plane on the Tarmac at Logan...

In a way, I think some beers should be that expensive. It takes Jean Van Roy longer to produce a gueuze than it does my local wineries to make a Pinot--and those regularly go for $40+. So that's cool. But nine dollars for a standard beer, based onJeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-2473028744937067612012-11-26T09:29:09.494-08:002012-11-26T09:29:09.494-08:00$9 drafts aren't at all uncommon on the East C...$9 drafts aren't at all uncommon on the East Coast for anything that's not a macro, at least in the cities.
