So, I'm trying to budget. Being from Canada, we're use to paying $4-$6/beer or mixed drink. Since beer and food will be the main part of my spending cash, what will drink prices be like? My buddy said tall boys of PBR were $2 last year...will this be the case again this year?

Thanks!

when I went to my first Fest I was worried that beers would be House of Blues type of prices, but I was pleasantly surprised that beers were quite affordable & I flew back to Las Vegas with one of the worst hang-overs that I have ever experienced. I do remember 16oz cans of Pabst going for around the price your buddy quoted you.

$2 for a tallboy's been the standard for at least the past two years, and Pabst is a sponsor again this year, so I don't expect it to change.

Nice! $2 for a tallboy is downright dangerous!

They had a $4 tallboy + shot of whiskey at FL Theater sometime last year as well. THAT was dangerous.

Assuming this was a real question and not a joke, it's a 16oz can.

It's exactly 1 US pint. I wish beer came in imperial pints in the States, though.

Yeah I always forget you guys have your own pint measurement. I think ours are about 565 ml. Our beer cans tend to be 440ml (regular) or 500ml. If we want something bigger then we have to go for bottles which go up to about 3000ml but you wouldn't find them for sale in a bar or pub in those sizes!
