My first thought was how times have changed from when I was pouring beer for a living. Back in the day when most of you were still ideas floating in the backs of your mothers' minds, a pitcher of beer in most taverns was about $2.00. It was 35 cents a glass. If you wanted a different brand, you bought it by the bottle.

Luckily for me, I still like domestic lager and it's common as dirt and usually cheap too. Having a discerning palate is too expensive for my budget!
