I'll stick to my brews at <$1 a pint thanks.

Good luck to them. I'll keep my money.

That's bloody ridiculous.

I wouldn't pay 15¢ for a pint of Asahi.

And I don't reckon I'd be very happy about spending more than $10 on a pint, regardless of what it was or where I was.

Having said that, as the bloke in the article said, it's all about supply and demand. Some fools are willing to pay $18 a pint for crap beer, so good luck to them.

Cheers,

Oliver
