Betting.com made a list of the cities in the U.S. with the cheapest beer prices. They analyzed over 100 of the most populated cities and the cost of bottle or draught beer. Two Florida cities actually made the list. St. Pete ranked 6th for cities with cheap beer, with an average cost of $4.28 for a pint. Jacksonville wasn't far behind them, they were tied with Lubbock and Irving, Texas and Chesapeake, Virginia for the number 8 spot. Toledo, Ohio was ranked number 1 in America for the cheapest beer. To nobody's surprise, New York and Los Angeles are the two cities with the most expensive prices. You can expect to pay around $8 for a beer in those big cities.
