That's less than a good microbrew around here ($3.50-4.00 per U.S.
pint).  The local pub and restaurants have a good selection of regional
product.  I can even get Guiness at one establishment (for stout I
prefer Murphy's, however).  There is a brewer who lives a few miles
from me, but his brewery (Hale's Ales) is in Seattle (we are an island
of ferryboat commuters).
