The state of the economy hit home today. Big time.

I was at Byerly's Liquor Store getting a six-pack of Summit Maibock (highly recommend it, by the way), when I noticed the price had just gone up. You see, I've found that for some kinds of beer Byerly's has the best prices around. Like unbelievably good prices. As recently as 9 days ago, I bought Summit Maibock from that same store for $6.99.

Today? $7.99

Woah.
