My first month in the city, I accidentally bought a $24 beer in the East Village.

I was fresh off $1.50 Miller Lites in Portland.

Oof how did that happen? Was it imported or a small batch from a brewery? It’d be very weird to me if a bartender at a dice charged you $20 for a bud light because they say you were a bright eyed newbie.

I liked Chimay as a brand, so I ordered one off the menu sitting on the bar without noticing I was not pointing to my usual Belgian but a super-ultra-select reserve.

My lesson was significantly more before you even adjust for inflation.
