There is something out of whack on the pricing. I'd expect the Craft beers to cost more than the Crap beers - you do pay for quality.
I did some calculations on unit price to see if the 14 oz. small or the 16 oz. tall was the better buy:
D'artagnan's Deck
Local Craft Small (14 oz.) - $6.50 - 0.464/oz.
Local Craft Tall(16 oz) - $8.50 - 0.531/oz
Red Hook Small (14oz) = $5 = 0.357/oz
Red Hook Tall (16 oz) = $7 = 0.438/oz
Miller/Coors Crap (16 oz can) = $7 = 0.438/oz
Yeah, usually, the larger portion is the better deal. I know starting next game, I'm going to switch to the small if they don't adjust that. And a Small Craft is only 3 cents higher than a crap beer. So if you look at it in terms of Percieved Value. As an aside, at Listermann' tap room, they average $5.50/16 oz = 0/344/oz - with a lot of tap room beer being $6/16oz = 0.375/oz - so in terms of percieved value, the craft at Cintas is not that much higher than street pricing. Compare that to the street pricing of a crap beer vs. arena pricing.
* For those who can't see the image - Local Craft options were: Blank Slate "Fork in the Road", Madtree "PsycHOPathy", Listermann "Losantivile Pre-Prohibition Lager" and "562 Lateral Oatmeal Sweet Stout", Rhinegiest "Cougar", Rivertown "Lil' Sipa", and Old Firehouse "Hoser Gosse"
Main Concourse Beer:
Miller/Coors Crap (16 oz can) = $7 = 0.438/oz
Miller/Coors Crap (20 oz draft) = $7 = 0.350/oz
Premiums (Blue Moon Belgian White, Fat Tire, Stella Artois, Warsteiner, Hop Bomber) (16 oz. draft) - $7 = 0.438/oz (Actually, I didn't check to see if Hop Bomber was on last night, it would seem to undercut the pricing of the new craft beer bar to have a local craft downstairs for less, or if the downstairs premiums were raised to $8.50)
Leinenkugels Cabin (16 oz drafts) = $7 = 0.438/oz (Canoe Paddler, Red Ale, Winter Shandy (Cranberry Gingerbread), Snowdirft Porter)Last edited by coasterville95; 12-10-2014 at 09:26 AM.

What sort of idiot offers 2 sizes, and then makes them 14 oz and 16 oz. That is quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever heard, and that's saying something on this board.

I did some quick math on the six pack of Rhinegeist Truth I smuggled in in my coat.
6 pack = 72oz for $10.66 including tax. = 14.8 cents per ounce. Best deal in the house.
Snipe will argue that his 24 oz Beast Light for 99 cents is better. I don't need to do the math to prove why that is wrong. Very, very wrong."Give a toast to my brother, hug your family, and do everything possible to live the life you dream of. God Bless."

Heading out for lunch today. I think I'm going to try the new Warped Wing (Dayton Brewery) Esther's Little Secret, a scotch ale with caramel. They partnered with Esther Price to make it. My hopes aren't high, but it sounds interesting enough to try.

Great Lakes Christmas Ale last night was very good. $12.50 a six is a little steep though.
