A New York betting site, recently stepped away from its regular gaming concerns to take a look at beer prices across the state.

And we’d wager you might be interested.

Empire Stakes looked at how expensive beers are in different places across New York, using Numbeo data, to determine the true cost of beer in the Empire State. They of course looked at the price of mass-produced beers like Budweiser or Coors Light, avoiding serious craft beers like the plague.

Obviously New York City was home to the priciest beer, but at the same time close to Manhattan suburbs like New Rochelle sold some of the cheapest.
