Fun fact for Macroeconomics geeks!

Coasters Pub's menu is specifically factored into the official Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a measure of national inflation. And we're happy to say that we haven't contributed to an increase in the index in nearly a year!

If there's one thing Dave likes, it's Statistics.

And Macroeconomics. Two things. If there's two things Dave likes it's Statistics and Macroeconomics.

And beer. Three things. Statistics, Macroeconomics and Beer. Yes.

And 2ndlight.

It's sort of weird; they literally have people driving around checking out places' nacho and burger prices. But not beer, because that's excluded from the calculation for some reason.

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

That is cool, but weird that they don't calculate for beer. Because beer=life, and life=economics, right?
