Why is beer brewed and bottled in my hometown the same price as beers from all over the world? It's $8.99/6er for beer 5 miles from the brewery - same price as several comparable and superior selections from Europe and the far corners of the US. Sure the local beer is decent but it isn't world class and it bothers me that extra profit is being made off of me. Transport isn't cheap and those discounts should be passed on. I don't buy the local beer for that reason, am I wrong?
