Gotta love it. At least he's asking for good beer.

When I read the title of this, I thought it was some kind of sound comparison and was very intrigued.

Give the musicians free beer and their eyes light up. It costs the bar next to nothing and gets them much more good will then the monetary value of the beer. |

But by the bottle, it would cost a bit more depending on how much the band drinks.
So say you have a heavy drinker that drinks 12 beers in a night. At about $3 a bottle at the store, it comes out to $36 for the night, which unfortunately is not out of the realm of possibility for a band member to make in a night nowadays. If the guy has 24 in a night, then the gig pays $72 which ain't too bad. But, I wouldn't want to be the guy or around a guy who had 24 beers.
Now if you're going draft, then the bar makes a killing. It probably only costs them around $.35-.50 a beer. The band can drink a 100 beers and it only costs them under $50. |

For example, buy a friend or lady a $5 beer at the bar, and they treat it like a $5 beer or maybe even less. But outside of the bar, it's different. For example giving your friend a sixer of a good beer that costs $12 for helping you move to your new apartment, gives the feeling of $40 in value.
I dunno, this is beer math and economics so there's bound to be something wrong with my equation.
It's the thought that counts, right? |
