Timeframe- 1964-ish....probably 20 or 25 cents, don`t remember because we always bought several pitchers at a time, not individual beers....
After hours (past 10 p.m.), we had to get those white, round paper 32-oz. containers of draft if you wanted to take beer off the bar`s premises....

Back in those days, did you ever go to a club in Tamaqua called "The Queen Victoria" ? Man, that place was slammin` & jammin`on Friday and Saturday nights !

No, the stereo won’t break the crystal...Oh CRAP!
Lucky Lagar 89 cents a six pack at the grocery store, about $3.50 a case. A case of beer and a few Fox Deluxe frozen pizzas for under $5 - life was good. And of course the infamous 25 cent pitcher Tuesday's at 2:00 in the afternoon. Went up 25 cents an hour... Lots of really bad cheap beer, and 8-ball. The pool games degraded commensurate with the rise of the pitcher price.
Same timeframe as the peak of the silver-faced receivers...ah, the good ole days!

When I became drinking age, I repaired jukeboxes and kept the pinball machines working. Never had to pay for a beer when I wanted one at the bar, the barman was always generous. This was in 1982 onward.

Je me Souviens
In 1967 in Nova Scotia, the drinking age was 21 years old and a 12oz draught was 20cents going up to 25 cents in 1968. A double of anything, rhum Vodka, etc... was priced at 50 cents including the mix. Those prices were valid at clubs belonging to the Canadians Armed Forces. Downtown bars had draughts priced from 45 cents to 60 cents, depending on the bars. A bottle of beer downtown was priced at around 75 cents. While on training in Quebec in early 1967, just before going to Nova Scotia, an 8oz draught was 5 cents with a limit of 5 glass. The drinking age was lowered from 21 to 19 in Nova Scotia on the 13 of April 1971.
The Nova Scotia government has created a minimum price for alcohol in 2008, ending the practice by downtown Halifax bars by offering dollar-a-drink nights.
The minimum bars can now charge is $2.50 per serving, which is considered to be 12 ounces of beer, five ounces of wine, or one shot of liquor although the actual price per drinks now in 2018, is much higher at most bars.
