Beer Tastes, on Beer Budgets

There better be cheap drinks!

I can't afford $15 bud lights

I'll be an ocean away, so I'll have to be there in spirit.

Wait, since when was a Bud or Bud light a drink?

If you can change your plans and show, Dan, I'll make sure have a real "taste".

Grrr! Did you have to schedule it for the day before I leave for China?

It's a tough choice. Spain or NYC meet up.

Next time, you show how they are drinks.

I can try and ask around my friends who all live in NYC to see if they know of any good cheap places to go...Happy hour is always a good time to hit the places up...i'll get back to you on that one

I did a little research last night while I was out in the city with some friends. We went down to the lower east side, i.e east village and it was a lot of fun. There were some great bars down there that weren't too expensive based on NYC standards.

I.e. Arlene's Grocery store: Cheapest beer was pabst at $3 a bottle. I was drinking well drinks for like $7. they had a bunch on draft. There were other places around and many more in Alphabet city, so I think that the lower east side would be a good place to go.

Just my humble opinion

Josh

Arlene's Grocery can be sometimes really crazy. A lot of the places in LES can be expensive.

There is the Bohemian Beer Garden in Astoria, which is a great place if the weather's good. It's got a huge walled garden and a nice selection of quality beers for $5 a pint.

Brooklyn is a dirty word.

But I have been to that place, it's nice.
