What do yo pay for a pint

[Spittybug]

$6 to $8 here, plus the downsizing of glassware for 'bigger' beers. Fortunately we have a place that has happy hour pricing on Wednesdays. So guess what? Our crew of anywhere between 6 and 14 meets every week for happy hour and supports this brewery/taphouse. It's about being social, not necessarily the beer. We can be sociable anywhere, anytime. While I fully comprehend the overhead as well as variable costs brewers face, it was YOUR decision, not mine, to open up shop. Don't expect all of us to simply absorb all of the costs of what might have been your folly to believe you could pay the mortgage, decorate the place, pay the electric bill, pay staff and make beer competitively. Same argument for food trucks. A failure to understand one's market and what it will bear is the biggest mistake these enterprises make. I venture to say most craft beer drinkers aren't nearly as loyal or as frequent a guest as what most business plans assume.

We are @ $6-$8 depending on the beer. 12 oz. on the big ones. Most specifically our Lemon Shark which is a wine actually @ 10%!
We call it Shark, because it'll bite you!
@Bigbre04 , I'm surprised you don't have seasonal pricing or a "Local" discount for regulars, although i guess that would be a PITA!
As @Sunfire96 said, there is so much more that goes into the cost and comparing it to homebrewed beer is really impossible.

$10. I'm a mug club (imperial pint+) member at my local Adventure Club Brewery and the $10 includes tip. Tip varies from $2 to $4 depending on the beer and whether it's tourist season.

This is the only wood fired distillery in the USA. The volunteers make their own tools, split the wood for the fire, coop their own barrels and generally make very, very few concessions to modernity. They are seriously old school. So, being that I appreciate the work those folks put into the whiskey and but for these people the distillery wouldn’t exist... I’d say yes, the premium was worth it. Last I checked, a 375ml bottle was $180 for the aged whiskey and almost $90 for the unaged rye. The latter tastes like fresh cut grass with a sharp alcohol bite. I still have some unaged rye from the distillery.

Using the historical processes to make a historical whiskey is definitely a strong incentive!

$7-$8 most places in Phoenix area. However, I prefer lagers and pilsners, so I do tend to imbibe my own creations

First off, $6-8 depending on ABV, etc. One caveat: I live in Colorado where a majority of local breweries distribute, and I can buy a 6er for $10-14, but I don’t get to A: support the brewery directly; and B; enjoy the camaraderie of neighbors and knowledge of brewtenders while i get my buzz on.
Having said that, have you ever run your own business? Think rent, payroll, insurance, common area maintenance fees for your building… all of that comes before you even begin to buy your $200K min. brew system, serving equipment, glasses, tables, chairs… and don’t forget we all want a souvenir coaster or sticker to take home…
If my favorite local breweries can stay open at $8/pint I’ll support them!
