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.
