$70 for a half keg or a half barrell? I get a keg of Boulevard Wheat for $109. I live in St. Louis, and they get $95 for a keg of Bud around here. So for an extra $14, the good beer is a no brainer for me.

Out of curiosity, what do other people pay for Budweiser in other parts of the country? Around here it costs more in bottles/cans than anywhere else in the country, which always made little sense to me, since the brewery is downtown St. Louis. I guess once you have the hometown market hooked on your product they can charge whatever and people will pay it.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
