15.5 gallons divided into 16oz cups is about 124.
So the cost of a beer is $2.06 for a 12oz and $2.74 for a 16oz.
Plus the cup...
I can't remember if they serve 12 or 16oz, but lets assume 16 even though I think it's 12. That makes it a 72.5% margin on the beer not including the cup.
I think they're doing just fine on beer.

I'm pretty sure that is the cost of a Keg for the general public to buy from a liquor store. The Flames get those kegs much cheaper than that.
In addition, you're also looking at the Flames probably getting money for advertising from that liquor provider and even more cash on top for alcohol exclusivity rights.
