Carlota's official menu lists exactly one beer, Mahou draft, priced at $5 — but this price appears only inside the site's 'Happy Hour' section (opening until 7pm on every day they're open), with no separate non-happy-hour beer price shown anywhere else on the Tapas, Vermouth Service, or Cocktails menus. We report $5 as the cheapest confirmed, regularly-available price since it is the only price Carlota publishes for beer and it recurs every operating day (not a one-off event). However, the source explicitly frames it as a happy-hour rate, so it's possible (though unconfirmed) that a higher price applies after 7pm.

Cheapest regularly-available beer is Miller High Life at $6.00 per the official drink menu (Guinness $11, Estrella Damm $10, IPA $8, Miller High Life $6). Serving size not specified so treated as one standard pour. Separately, the food-menu page's 'Happy Hour Drinks Menu' lists BEER $5 for the same four beers (Guinness, Estrella Damm, Ballast Point Sculpin IPA, Miller High Life) during happy hour. I used the food-menu page's times since it is the actual itemized happy-hour menu (more specific/authoritative for beer pricing) rather than the homepage marketing banner.

Cheapest regularly-available beer is $6: canned Narragansett or Lambert's Lager. Cheapest draft is House Lager at $7. Separately, Mon-Fri 4-6pm happy hour gives '$2 off House Drinks,' which applied to House Lager ($7-$2=$5) is the cheapest happy-hour beer price found. This is a discount off the listed price, not a distinct menu-listed happy-hour price, so it is derived rather than directly stated. There is also an $8 'Narragansett can + well liquor' combo during happy hour, but that is a beer+shot bundle, not a per-beer price, so it was excluded per the pitchers/bundles rule.
