Seattle ranks among most expensive cities in America for beer

Seattle, expensive? You don’t say… Well, rent may be decreasing these days but life itself certainly remains expensive. If you plan on watching the Super Bowl this Sunday and having some brews, it’s going to be a little extra expensive. Why? Seattle ranks among most expensive cities in America for beer!

How was this all figured out? As the Super Bowl approaches, Betting.com looked at the cost of draught beer and bottled beer, taking data from Numbeo to create a weighted ranking of the most expensive and also cheapest places to grab beer.
