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.

Add on the fact that it would be shocking for an NHL stadium to pay sticker-price for every keg of beer, and I'm sure they make a ton off of the beer.
However, as a result, their business model probably heavily relies on liquor profits, so I do believe that liquor price increases will affect their bottom line. Just not a good argument to make when looking for sympathy from fans.
