NerdWallet pegs Denver fourth cheapest beer city

NerdWallet calculated that Denver was the fourth least expensive beer city, based on beer prices, beer taxes and beer consumption.

Excerpt:

Get your bottle openers ready -- St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. If you're a beer lover, the amount you pay for a drink can depend on where you’re buying it. NerdWallet crunched the numbers to find the least expensive cities for beer drinkers, using the following criteria:

1.    Relative affordability of beer: We calculated the affordability of beer using the cost of a six-pack of Heineken and the median income per worker in each city.

2.    Beer tax: We factored in the state beer tax incurred in each of the cities.

3.    Beer consumption: We looked at how much people drink in each state -- if there are more beer drinkers around, the city scores higher because of the relatively greater demand.
