The article is called March Madness: The cost of beer in tourney game cities and is located at https://www.cheaptickets.com/blog/2015/03/march-madness-the-cost-of-beer-in-tourney-game-cities/.CaptchaSubmit Ally MarottiMarch 20, 2015 1 Comment There are a few good reasons to have a cold brewski in March. Once everyone has recovered from their St. Patrick’s Day bar hops, it’s the NCAA college basketball tournament that dominates television screens in sports bars across America. In a matter of weeks, 64 teams will be whittled down by 54 single-elimination games. It’s madness. We collected data from sports bars in the 14 cities where these mad matches take place in 2015 to compare the cost of beer. Here’s what we found: Oregon may not be favored in the tourney, but when it comes to the cost of a cold one, Portland is #1 in all three beer categories. If you’re into local brews, Indianapolis and Jacksonville hold a close second. Cleveland, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, and Syracuse hold the next best price for imported beer, like Heineken and Stella. No surprise to any big city dwellers, L.A. had the most expensive beer in all three categories. If you’re heading to a tourney game, keep these stats in mind and choose your winning beer wisely.

I didn’t expect to see Portland on this list! I thought the city’s prices would be more expensive because it’s such wine-heavy and beer-heavy town, but I was totally wrong. On another note, how does Dayton get away with charging so much for local brew….it’s the second most expensive to L.A.
