$2.50. 16 oz. Sometimes I miss Rochester.
I blame the dearth of recent posts on my exam schedule, which turned me into a recluse for most of the last month. Now that I am on vacation, I was able to get out for some cheap beers.
First stop was Radius pizza in Mt. Pleasant. It was my first time there, and I really liked the feel of the place. They run a $5 pint and slice special from 5-7 on weekdays and during every NFL game. Pretty limited selection with only 3 taps (Peroni, Allagash White, and Grimbergen Dubbel), so there is no reason to go here for beer unless it is during the happy hour. Especially since a beer by itself costs more than the $5 pint/slice special. The guy to our right found this out the hard way when he ordered a second beer. Anyways, I like a bar that is quiet enough to hear the Seinfeld episode on the TV over the bar.
Next we headed downstairs to Tonic. Half price drafts during weeknight happy hour. Had a Magic Hat Lucky Kat for $3. Meh.
Finally, while we were (almost sort of) nearby, we went over to the Red Derby. A fine time as usual. The barkeep was excited to explain and provide “The Combo” to us, which I had always just called the “Shot and a Beer.” Then we took a long, cold walk home.
Anyways, cheapbeerdc will be cheapbeerwesternny for the next two weeks. Maybe I’ll update, maybe I won’t. Time will tell.
“Don’t crack open this cold one, you’ll flood the city.”
Pharmacy Bar. $3 High Life and PBR bottles.
Bottling complete. I feel very accomplished.
The cheap beer party continues. Cans are accumulating.
Look at all these great beers. Note the top of the pyramid.
First beer of the cheap beer party.
Mission accomplished. $27 total.
Terrific happy hour: $2 Yeungling, $3 Two Hearted. Lasts until 9 PM. Plus the soothing orange/red glow makes it feel like a you’re back in the womb. A womb full of beer.
