You’ve survived Monday, yet Hump Day looms on the horizon. Put your worries aside and drink up without dipping too deep into the beer budget.

If you’re in the mood to drink in the company of others, check out Rock Bottom for their Big Ass Beer Night: $6.95/23 oz, keep the glass and refills are only $3.95. Or if you’re in the vicinity of Pizza Luce (downtown), they’ve got $3 pints of Summit.

If you’d prefer to do your drinking at home, pop in at your nearest Granite City for $5 growler fills.
