PrintWe all know beer is expensive at Fenway Park. Now there's data showing that based off a team's winning percentage, the Red Sox have the worst bang for your buck:
So which ballclub offers the best value based on its team's winning percentage? At Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, you'll pay a modest $6.75 for a 21-ounce beer while watching one of the best teams in the National League. And for all their losing seasons, at least the Pirates allow their fans to drown their sorrows at a decent price. Even after factoring in their dismal record this season, that 21-ounce beer they sell at PNC Park is still 32% less expensive than it should be by this measure.
On the other end of the spectrum there's Nationals Park where, in exchange for watching baseball's worst team, fans get to spend $7.50 for a 20-ounce beer. Of course, nothing compares to Boston's Fenway Park. There, you'll pay $7.25 for just 12 ounces—a rate that is, ounce for ounce and win for win, the worst beer value in baseball.
Hey, at least it's good beer -- most of it.

Doesn't the Sox still have the highest ticket prices in MLB?
Unless the MFY decided to pass them this year to cover the cost of Yankee Stadium.
They should change the beer during the season, for a Nut Brown Ale in Spring, a Hefeweisen in the Summer, and finally a Guinness Stout for Sept and hopefully October.
The beverage known as “Budweiser” and its diminutive cousin, “Bud Lite” are not beer but glamorized malt and rice flavored water. However on a 95/35 degrees day , I rather have a cold Bud than a real beer. Even though a Hefeweisen will do…
I usually drink before and after the games
Beers are cheaper in bars.

If I am going to pay a ton for a beer I am going to get a good beer.
I also go for the beer before and after the game.
Last time I went to the Fens I wasn't old enough
Do they have Molson?
Bud light baby
Nothing better. Sam Adams is too filling anyway.

This was done in several different ways on Beyond the Boxscore over the summer...
I can’t remember the results though.
Also – no choice for minors? :/
