$6 Yuengling?

ok poor suggestion on the gift card, although i did got mine around xmas time once… and as i said i don't drink so it's no worry of mine.

<talking out my ass>Does the DC tax rate of 10% factor into the price of drinks?</talking out my ass>

ahh, but you have to deal with random philly drinking laws/regs. i was at the magnet show last year at the troc, and main floor was cash only, upstairs accepted cards (wait, as i think about it, i think they were only serving alcohol upstairs). in any event, the very next night, both upstairs and downstairs bars were serving and accepted cards. was at the flaming lips show at electric factory, and you could only drink in this roped off area at the side of the venue.

as for prices. . i don't really remember.

in pittsburgh you could only drink in the roped off areas for all ages shows. have no idea why they change it nightly in philly

see, back home normal was $2 for a bottle of yuengling. at the clubs it was $4. so twice as much. dc is at least $3.50, so $6 seems about right to me

I disagree, I've never had a $6 Yuengling at a show in DC before. I'm pretty sure it wasn't $6 last time I was there, which wasn't that long ago.

I'm not sure what you're talking about $2 for a Yuengling. I can get a 12 pack at Giant for $7.99. Is it $2 if I only buy an individual bottle?

is that a "squid" in your "pants" or are u just happy to see me

PA has some weird laws. I know at an all ages show at the Electric Fatory, you can only drink in that area off to the side or on the balcony. I think prices were slightly cheaper than 9:30's previous prices.

A little from column A, a little from column B

Ditto. Except for the super swanky hotel bars, not sure I've had a bottle of domestic for more than $5 in DC…

well, domestic is a misleading term. i mean, i've been to places where obvious domestic beers <cough>sam adams<cough> are not listed under domestic prices because they are considered as a microbrew, which is, apparently, a separate designation.

I know, I know…the whole microbrew thing. Which Sam Adams is SO not, and I don't think Yuengling is either, but that's just me.

Yeah, since 9:30 and Sonar seem to be getting alot of similar shows, I think I'll be choosing Sonar more often. Last time I was there I think I remember the prices being lower than 9:30's old prices.

Yeah it's $3.50 for a bottle of Yeungling at Sonar. Seriously, $6 for a Yeungling that is borderline mass production (Bud/Miller/Coors) is way too much. You've got to be kidding me that it's priced out as a microbrew. With prices like that, I'm glad I live close by where I can do a bunch of drinking before seeing the band play. So what is Guinness priced out at now, $8 for the can?

It seems 1 beer = 6 pack grocery store prices.

There are places in Pittsburgh where you can get a pitcher of Yunegling for $3. Most of them are of the college-dive bar variety, but those are the best kind. Never thought I'd be nostalgic for Pittsburgh, but I do miss that.

I buy beer for the local teens, and they usually let me drink with them…FOR FREE!!!

PBR is cheap everywhere. You can get a 30 pack for about $12 in the College Park/Greenbelt area. Wonder how much 9:30 would charge if they stocked it…
