SHARE On National Beer Day, Garcia charging $8.50 at election party

It’s National Beer Day, and it’s also election day in Chicago, so there’s sure to be some liquor flowing tonight to either celebrate victories, or drown the sorrow.

When it comes to the election night parties for Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his challenger, Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, it’ll be flowing freely if you’re an Emanuel supporter, while a domestic beer at Garcia’s event will set you back $8.50.

CBS Chicago was first on the beer case.

Water at Garcia’s party will set you back $4, while those wanting to dig really deep can fork over $13 for Hennessy.
