In these tough economic times, we’re all looking for ways to tighten our belts. But fear not: the folks at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery understand our financial woes as well as Alan Greenspan does. Plunk down a mere $1.95 at the Harvard Square or Braintree locations and enjoy a frosty pint of the Beer of the Week. (The same beers will cost you $2.95 at the Boston location.) The rotating beer selection changes each Monday, offering customers the chance to sample Rock Bottom’s handcrafted beer, like the Munich Gold or the Lumpy Dog Light Lager. The beers are brewed on the premises, which is reflected in their fresh, distinct flavor.

While you’re there, take advantage of the brewpub’s free Mug Club, which lets you upsize your beer to a 20-ounce mug for no additional charge. With beer prices like this, it looks like we may actually need to loosen our belts.

Available for $1.95 at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery, 50 Church Street, in Cambridge, (617) 499-2739, and 250 Granite Street, in Braintree, (781) 356-2739. Available for $2.95 at 115 Stuart Street, in Boston, (617) 742-2739.
