Ten Dollar Beer!

We went to the great Madison Square Garden to see the even greater Neil Young the other night.  As usual, I was pretty thirsty when we got there, having traveled an hour and a half through some terrible snow/sleet/ice road conditions.  So, I was ready to pay what was necessary for a brew.  Well, it turns out that the beers are $9.25!  At first glance, that is a complete outrage - but there are 2 points that make it hurt not as much.  First, the beers are actually 22ozs, which is close to 2 actual beers.  Second, the beer selection was great.  They had Anchor Steam, Smithwick's, Guinness, Harp, etc.  A truly great selection, and a price on par for NYC.  So, it made it not that bad.  I guess we can rationalize anything when thirsty.

I recently did a calculation for how much I have spent for the year on ingredients and equipment.  The straight up price for one of my own 12oz homebrews come in around $1.10, and that includes all the equipment start-up costs.  For just the ingredients, the cost is about $0.62 pre 12 ozs.  A bargain really, and delicious.

In case anyone is wondering, Neil Young put on a great show.  I've been trying to see him live for over 10 years now.  It was worth the wait.  I've been to many live concerts before, and I must say - Neil's "Cortez the Killer" was unreal.  Probably the best single song performance I have ever heard.  Thanks Neil!
