enjoy those Reubens bro. That is one thing that nobody over here seems to be able to do correctly and it is always disappointing when you get one. something about the bread and cheese mostly but I am not even 100% sure what they are doing wrong. I had one at a smokehouse that a Canadian owned and it had coleslaw on it instead of kraut. When I asked him why that was he said "that is how they are made in Canada" and I just said "well Canada is wrong."
I don't even know if he was telling the truth, his food is substandard on a lot of other fronts as well so he may have just made that up.
As far as expensive beers are concerned here it is just relative to the economy that I currently live in. A cheap lager that is widely available like a Bud would be for you, is normally around $1 in a bar. A craft beer at a well-known brewery will set you back normally around $6. So look at how much a bud costs and then multiply is by 6.
There are local craft breweries that sell the beers for far less, like $2, but they are not the same beers and they are something that is extremely local and it will tasted completely different from one batch to the next. That's not rally my cup a tea either because if it is that different each time I kind of wonder about QC in a general sense.
