— Ordering a standard, big-brand beer in one western Manitoba restaurant can also leave your wallet hammered. Prairie Firehouse in Brandon has decided to charge $15 for a regular-size can of Bud Light — double or more the price of other suds on the menu. She just wants to coax people into trying some of the craft beer on her menu from smaller breweries in Manitoba and other nearby provinces and states. Eventually, she hopes to have only craft beer on the menu. “The craft beer ideology … across North America is basically community-driven business,” said association president John Heim.
