Beer prices
This is how they make their profit -- hike the prices on cheaper commodities. Kinda like giving the razor away and charging an arm & leg for blades.
I had a similar experience at Square 1. They had specials for fruity-tootie kind of mix drinks. I asked if the price also applied to a basic Martini. No, that was $10. For cheap gin and a couple of olives?! Like the OP said, I asked for water. I wonder when we'll start seeing a charge of that too.
