Ouch my pride.

Oh well, Habs pay .61 per oz.

[Colin226]

I mean they could literally connect a tap from the vats at the Bud factory to the Pru Center so why do we pay so much?

Yea, I cried inside when I bought three beers for what would have been a months supply of beer at home.

But you're totally paying for the experience of having a beer at the rock. Totally worth the insane markup

The insane price is only worth it if you drank 8+ beers prior to going in. Actually, scratch that. That was the scale for PREVIOUS seasons. This year it isn't worth the price of a beer inside The Rock unless you've had 12 MINIMUM prior to going in....

He didnt mention premium beers went up to $9 this year at the rock.


Thank god for the local bars selling beer at 2 and 3 dollar domestic drafts.

Yeah it looks like they are using old numbers from last season. Didn't even the domestics go up to like $8 or $8.75 or something? I was not able to find any beer at the Rock for under $8. Therefore, we are even higher on the list. Ouch.

If you can't afford to drink the beer might as well start drinking the

Yeah I absolutely love holding a cup of beer, especially Molson, during the game.. Watching hockey while drinking a beer just feels right

[95Crash]

Last Saturday was my first game of the new season. I was walking around the upper concourse looking for all the premium beers but all I could find was Heineken and Molson. What happened to all the other good beers they used to sell? Are they gone?

There is something about that.... $6.50 MGD bottles down here in Trenton land.

[Pepperkorn]

I can't buy beer there -- you pee it all out SOOOO FAST!! It just seems a waste to me

I gotta make it to a game soon

[devilsfan26]

I just don't understand it. I would much rather pay half price to enjoy an actual good beer at a bar before and after the game, or pay like a third the price for a really good beer from a liquor store and enjoy it at home.

[maxpower]

two-fold.

1) it's probably one of the more profitable things in the building... other than soda, so why not.

2) if beer was at market price, the place would be a drunken hellhole. it's bad enough as is.

of course, 1) is far more important than 2), but I don't mind it.

and if you really, really want to be floored, go to the new Giants/Jets stadium, and go to the Captain Morgan bar. check the prices for the hard stuff, and watch the pour. they about a bottle's worth out of one shot.

at least at the Rock, if you know someone, for $10 you get a good pour.

I have no pity for any of you. The cheapest 24 in Nova Scotia is roughly 41 dollars. A pint of hard liquor usually goes for 14 or 15 dollars.

I rather drink cat urine than any Miller, Bud, or Coors product.

[Oldtimer]

Most of the beer is crap at games anyway.  Would it kill them to add nice micro brews on tap. Allagash, Magic Hat, Pelican.  Now I would drop $10 fro one of those.  I am thirsty already.

I think they would only charge $5 for a 16oz draft of cat urine.

I couldn't believe when I was at the store in Ontario and they wanted 36 C$ for a 24 pack of Bud Light lime. That isn't what we were getting, but it jumped out at me.
