Beer at the Super Bowl
Ever wondered how much a beer would cost at the big game? Well it’s a bit outrageous. The cheapest beer available at this year’s Super Bowl cost $12 per bottle for a domestic non-craft brew. Though if you can drop $4744 dollars on a seat, 12 bucks might not seem like much.

Beer is still the most popular among men and millennials, but wine hold the top spot for women and adults over 65 years old. For beer drinkers, domestic non-craft brews were preferred over craft or imported.
