    Yep, I agree with this. What I don't get is that Prairie is selling bottled beer for $2 more than pretty much any liquor store does. That's why I stopped buying bottled/canned beer at restaurants, just cannot see paying as much for 1 beer for what 3 of them cost in total at my liquor store. Draft is a whole other deal since that's a very site-specific thing that can't be reproduced at a store.

    Oh, I agree with this. And I feel the same with bottled/canned beer at bars. I understand they have to make a profit, but when one beer costs as much as a pack, I feel like it's a waste of money.
