I'm getting tired of seeing "$1 Domestics" while drunk walking down 6th St. and having to explain to the bartenders that Fat Tire or Redhook IPA or Widmer are domestics when they try to charge you $4. Shame on false advertising! Shame on them for connecting "domestics" with light beer! :tank:

It's evan more sad when the brewery is five blocks away from the bar and it's not domestic.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but for some reason it seems that if you opened a pub and served ANY beer you have the legal obligation to undermine all the geography teachers in the US school system and decide where a beers country of origin is actually located.

The globe must really be funny looking from a bar owners perspective... :drunk:

I got charged $4 for a Killian's Red draft not too long ago. Says it's Irish right there on the bottle. Who can argue with that?

I know what you guys are saying, but I would love to pay any US bar prices right now. Even the “domestic” beer here in the UK is around 3 pounds sterling. That is $5.75 with the crap exchange rate…but then again it is damn good beer. Even Budweiser in the store is about $1.50 a bottle. Damn, this rant has made me thirsty. Time to bust the bank.

Well, when they say $1 domestics, what they really mean is $1 domestic macros, as opposed to $1 domestic micros. BTW at my bar we do $3 Texas brews, but we only do one brewery each Tuesday, not all at the same time. And we don't count Shiner as a Texas brewery. :cross:

At least you have some decent "domestics" available. I'm now in Korea where BMC are "imports" - and the only ones for sale at most places. The domestics here are Cass, Hite, and OB (CHO), and are actually somehow worse than BMC. Hopefully I can make it to a bigger city soon - there are usually some Belgian imports at the nicer restaurants.
