Where Is Beer Cheapest in America? Here’s the State That Wins

Today is National Beer Day . . . and if you’re a beer drinker, you can celebrate by picking up an expensive four-pack of Double IPAs, or a cheaper case of something lighter and less interesting.

The website Visual Capitalist recently crunched the numbers on the average prices of 24-packs of beer across the country.

The state with the cheapest case of beer is Illinois, where the average price is $16.43.  That’s surprising since you’d think the states with the bigger cities would be more expensive, but that wasn’t the CASE.  (See what I did there?)

South Carolina was the second-cheapest, followed by New York state . . . Rhode Island . . . Kansas . . . Michigan . . . North Carolina . . . Arizona . . . Connecticut . . . and Virginia.

Alaska was the priciest, with an average of $33.62 per case of beer.  Wyoming was the second most expensive, followed by Hawaii . . . Montana . . . Tennessee . . . Vermont . . . Pennsylvania . . . Nevada . . . Oregon . . . and Washington.
