10 Most Expensive Beers in Baseball
7. St. Louis Cardinals
Price of a small draft beer: $6.75
The price hasn't changed since last year, but c'mon. You're practically bicycling Anheuser-Busch InBev(BUD) products in from the brewery and the stadium has the Busch family's name on it. This must hurt even worse for Cards fans knowing that they're paying more for 12 ounces of beer than their fellow beer-ballpark fans pay for a pint at Milwaukee's Miller Park ($5.75) or Colorado's Coors(TAP) Field ($6).
6. Atlanta Braves
Price of a small draft beer: $7
Your team collapses at the end of last season and fails to make the playoffs and you still raise the price of a 16-ounce beer by 25 cents. No wonder Coca-Cola(KO) is so popular in the ATL.
5. Chicago Cubs
Price of a small draft beer: $7
No playoffs, a new general manager and the price of a pint of beer jumps 50 cents. We won't talk about curses, Cubs fans, but at least Theo Epstein didn't bring Boston's beer prices with him.
4. Toronto Blue Jays
Price of a small draft beer: $7.19
It's a rough estimate given the exchange rate, but still 15 cents more than last year's price per 14 ounces -- when they're selling it. The Jays have been forced to make Rogers Centre alcohol free for three games this season, including opening day, after the local alcohol commission punished the venue for allowing drunkenness and sales to minors.
3. Boston Red Sox
Price of a small draft beer: $7.25
No change in price for what was the most expensive 12 ounces of Major League beer in 2011. Maybe new coach Bobby Valentine is deflecting some of the flak from the beer vendors.
