Craft beer in Buenos Aires costs ARS 3000–6000 where residents buy it, and ARS 5500–11000 in the parts of the city built around visitors.

Menus in Buenos Aires that appear in multiple translations, with photographs, and with a host outside are priced for people who will not return. The neighbourhood equivalent has no reason to price that way.
A useful mental threshold: anything at or under ARS 6000 is a normal price for craft beer in Buenos Aires. Around ARS 4500 is the typical everyday figure. Above ARS 5500 you are paying the visitor rate, whether or not the venue is pleasant.
For context inside Buenos Aires itself: of the 27 things we price here, tango show carries the widest visitor markup (ARS 5000–15000 locally against ARS 25000–80000), while recoleta cemetery is priced most consistently across the city. Craft beer (pint) sits closer to the problem end of that scale, so it is worth checking before you buy.
Prices across Argentina move together, so the habits that keep you at ARS 3000–6000 in Buenos Aires will hold in the next city too: check a posted price, walk one street away from the main draw, and pay the way residents pay.
