Barring some kind of super-rare specialty (Russian River's Pliny the Younger, maybe), no.

Toronado has $5 pints of Pliny. So no, the author's totally off mark.

Unless you're in a bar.

TBH, the author sounds like he would end up in a place that sells $15 IPA's. That's says more about the author, than SF.

No.

I've actually never seen a beer over $12 before. $5-7 is the norm.
