1 Florida City Makes List Of Best For Beer
I feel like no matter where you live in the Sunshine State, you don’t have to look far for a cold one, but 1 Florida city has made a list of the cities best for beer in the country.
One of my favorite things to do when I’m traveling, and even here in town, is to visit different breweries. I always enjoy trying something new. In fact, it was just a few weeks ago that I went to Scotty’s Bier Works in Cape Coral for the first time. There are so many great breweries in Southwest Florida and each have a little something different to offer. Whether it’s the beer that sets them apart, events that they hold or the ambiance, there’s something for everyone.
My dad is a big fan of porters, my brother loves IPAs and I’m more a fan of the wheat and fruit beers. But the beauty of a visit to a craft brewery, is the variety to suit everybody’s taste. And while we may think area area is great, there’s one city Florida that has made of a list of the best in the country for beer.
Florida City Makes List Of Best For Beer
Jacksonville came in at #6 on the list of 10Best Beer Cities in the U.S. The list was created by a panel of experts and readers of the publication voting on cities based on their beer scenes. “That means stellar collections of established and up-and-coming breweries, beer bars, brewpubs, beer festivals, and even thriving homebrewing communities where a novice brewer can get their foot in the door.”
Much like we have the SWFL Ale Trail, the Jax Ale Trail was mentioned which takes beer lovers on a journey to different breweries to collect stamps for prizes. A place to visit when you’re in town is Goozlepipe & Guttyworks at Kickbacks, which not only is home to one of the largest beer cellars in the Southeast, but also features over 200 beers on tap and 1,000 bottles.

The Price Of Beer In Every NFL Stadium For The 2023 Season
Los Angeles Chargers $13.75
The fans have noted that So Fi is definitely pricey. That $13.75 a beer might be too low. A ‘good’ beer is around $20. The Chargers seemingly always get the ball down 1 score in the final 2 minutes of the game. Some fans need that beer at $13.75 to calm the nerves week in and week out.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers $12
It’s $13 for a domestic draft. That’s probably a 20 oz, which is why we have $12/16 oz. The 8 dollars the charge for a hot dog? That’s a crime. As long as Baker and the Bucs keep winning, fans will be fine paying this much for a beer.

Jacksonville Jaguars - $11.50
Again, that price is 16 oz of draft. You want a can of Mich Ultra? $15. The Jags are finally a team with high expectations, and in a recent poll most residents are fine if the team relocates.

New Orleans Saints $11.50
$15 for a large beer, but you gotta look for the specials. Found one even cheaper than the reported $11.50 in a preseason game – $10.49 for a domestic can. The Saints offensively have been difficult to watch at times, but wins are wins. And the Saints are winning football games.

Tennessee Titans - $11.50
$14 for a beer seems to be the norm. Probably a 20 oz and if you do the math, there you go. The Titans figure to play close, low-scoring games throughout 2023. If Ryan Tannehill throws 3 picks in a game at home, the fans might need something harder than beer.

Las Vegas Raiders - $10
Someone tell me if you can find a $10 beer at Allegiant. 1 domestic beer at Allegiant Stadium is $19. The Raiders had low expectations coming into 2023, but so far Jimmy G has shown the ability to keep Las Vegas in games against the bottom half of the NFL.

Pittsburgh Steelers - $10
Another spot where your beer may freeze before you finish it. I do love the little ‘markets’ they have set up to help avoid lines. Steelers Nation was optimistic about Kenny Pickett and the offense entering the season. Those opinions have changed after the slow offensive start. Is it Matt Canada? Is it Kenny Pickett? Or is it the offensive line? No matter who’s to blame, Mike Tomlin needs to get it figured out.

Carolina Panthers - $10
What looks to be about a 24 oz beer is $15, so the math checks out. Unfortunately with those clear plastic cups that beer gets warm – fast. Bryce Young has had a tough start to his career and is already injured. There were questions about his size coming into the league, and those questions are now only getting louder.

Seattle Seahawks - $9.50
Not sure where this is at Lumen Field. Most beers are $15. Maybe there’s a draft special somewhere? Geno Smith looked like he regressed to his pre-2022 form in week 1. As Geno goes, this offense goes. Playoff hopes remain in play for the 12th man.

Dallas Cowboys - $9.50
$12 gets you a 20 oz draft, so this one checks out. That’s if you can find it. Otherwise be ready for $16 for a can. Has any team started 2023 more impressively than the Cowboys? Dak has not turned the ball over, and the Cowboys offense looks awesome. Let’s see how Travon Diggs’ ACL injury effects the defense.

Green Bay Packers - $9.50
Yes, you can get a beer at Lambeau Field for around $10, but you need to drink it fast. It’ll either freeze or the Packers will score a touchdown and you’ll need to throw it. The Jordan Love era looks different than the Favre-Rodgers 30 year run. But this defense is legit and will keep them in a ton of football games.

Kansas City Chiefs - $9
The local sports talk station once held a poll asking fans if they were willing to pay an extra dollar a beer to help pay for Mahomes’ contract. Overwhelmingly, they said yes. And how about the Chiefs defense?! Chris Jones or not, that unit has showed up this season. The offense can explode at any moment as long at 15 and 87 are on the field. Although the offensive line needs to improve.

Baltimore Ravens - $8.75
A $10 beer that’s bigger than a 16 oz. So we get $8.75 I dunno. Math. Last year’s list had them at $6.50. on the field Lamar and the new look offense have looked really good. Zay Flowers is a name to remember. Defensively they are thin on the back end, but as the offense gets more comfortable they will rely on that unit to win games.

Arizona Cardinals - $8.15
Last year was $6.50, but I don’t think the team has gotten better. I think beer prices should coincide with wins. Last year a can of beer was $13. Jonathan Gannon’s tenure started… strange. He’s awkward at press conference and the clips the team puts out paint him in the same light. There are issues with the roster, but they’re playing hard for their coach which is all that matter.

Denver Broncos - $8
I’m hearing that $13 is the norm. Maybe there’s a secret location for the $8 16 oz drafts? Finding the cheap beer might be a priority for Broncos fans (Let’s Ride) if Russell Wilson continues to blow leads. The defense has taken a big step back from their form in 2022. There are real issues in Denver.

Indianapolis Colts - $8
I saw a tweet where someone said they got a beer for $7 at Lucas Oil Stadium. Those midwest stadiums are the best. And while we’re on the Colts, can they please try to keep Anthony Richardson healthy. The guy is electric on the field and makes Colts football much more watchable.

Minnesota Vikings - $7.90
Can’t just get a beer here, need a bucket of cheese curds to go with. Skol
! On the field the Vikings seem like they’re in a bit of a transition. It’s the final year Kirk Cousins is under contract, and discussions between the team and Justin Jefferson about a contract extension has not gone well according to reports.

Cleveland Browns - $7
Fuel for the Dawg Pound. My dad’s a Browns fan. It’s been a difficult time for him. Nick Chubb is done for the season, which means their success relies on the right arm of Deshaun Watson… oh boy. Defensively the team is very good.

Cincinnati Bengals - $6.60
They were listed at $5.27 last year. $6.60 this year although I’ve not seen anything less than $11. It’s feeling like the 2023 season is going to come down to Joe Burrow’s calf and how it recovers. I think the offense will get it figured out. The defense needs to improve.

Miami Dolphins - $5
This data says $5 for a beer and $4 for a hot dog, but I swear I spent over $200 last time I was there. I should probably ease back on the pregaming. Miami’s offense is one of, if not the best offense in the league. Defensively the results have been up and down under Vic Fangio.

New York Giants - $5
I’m told there’s a 12 oz value beer for $5 but a 16 oz domestic in the aluminum is $13. A Met Life representative gave out this info late last year. This offense is once again boring to watch. Each series comes down to Daniel Jones’ ability to pick up a 1st down with his legs. I still think they have one of the best head coaches in the NFL.
Hot Dog: $7 • 12 oz. Value Beer: $5 • 16 oz. Domestic Aluminum: $13 • 16 oz. Premium Can: $14 • 12 oz. Craft Beer: $14

New York Jets - $5
That $5 value beer isn’t gonna take the edge off of losing Aaron Rodgers at the absolute beginning of the season. Here’s a poll to start. Would everyone chip in an extra dollar per beer to get rid of the turf and buy some actual grass? I feel bad for Jets fans. Aaron Rodgers was the savior coming into the season- unfortunately that lasted 4 plays. The rest of the roster is ready to win now. Zach WIlson is just not the guy to take them where they want to go.
