Here in the Circle City (Indianapolis) a 12-pack of Blue Moon, my beer of choice unless Leinenkugal is on sale, is 13 to 15 USD depending on where I purchase.

My favorite guilty pleasure, Woodchuck Hard Cider, runs similar or slightly less.

The current legal minimum for a case of beer along the lines of Bud is about $21 in Québec - significantly cheaper than in Ontario. In general, beer _is_ cheaper in Québec, but wine is cheaper in Ontario. I visit a friend in Ottawa on a regular basis and buy a ton of wine there, but always bring beer from home.

In Montréal, most places I’ve been to will sell a regular beer for about $4, but a pint goes for $5-8 depending on the beer and on the place I’m buying it at. A pitcher is usually in the $12-13 range, with a few places gouging at $16 or so.
