But I go to happy hours in other cities, and I can find happy hours specials on inports.
For example, I was in the Belltown (yuppie) section of Seattle and went into a random bar, and they had pitchers of Guinness, Bass, etc. going for $10. Where can I find that in DC?

Why is it this and so many other DC bars only seem to feature shit beer (e.g. Budweiser) on special at happy hour?
I'm surprised that you even have to ask this, but let me see if I can explain. There's something in business called a profit margin. In order to justify reducing prices you need to be able to make back what you're spending and still turn enough of a profit to make money. It's far less expensive to buy Bud and Miller Lite in bulk than it is to buy any of the craft beers. So you sell the crap beer cheap in hopes that people will come in and spend money on food and maybe liquor and maybe even better beer. It's a concept that's been around forever. At least itâ??s better than the old bait and switch, youâ??re getting what they advertise. [/b]
