TL;DR
Hotel beer is often watered down and pricier — better to buy at Drinkies stores (Heineken from $0.70) or near Queen Market (local beer $1.70/bottle, sold in packs of 10).
Just left of the exit near Queen Market, beer sells for about $1.70 a bottle, minimum 10 bottles per pack. It's on the weak side, so locals suggest mixing in Stella 8% 50/50 for more kick.
At Drinkies liquor stores, a can of Heineken costs around $0.70, noticeably cheaper than bottled beer sold at the hotel.
The concern about beer prices came up after reviews that hotel beer is heavily watered down — many tourists look for it in duty-free or regular town shops instead.
