The Save on Brew graphic has been circulating on several sports news and baseball blogs, but many commenters have noted that the prices seemed wrong and the data were poorly sourced.
So from your anecdotal experience -- what are the real prices (and sizes) of beer in your stadium?
I am going to turn the info into a new beer chart that is easier to read. Thanks!

At Chase Field there are beers for as cheap as $4. But they look like tiny dixie cups of beer. I'll have to check the next time I go, but I think they were 12oz.
Sidenote; sadly I can't drink beer anymore because of a gluten intolerance. But Chase Field has one stand that sells gluten free beer and food. Not sure if you'd want to put something like that in your beer chart.
Sorry to hear about your gluten allergy, but it's definitely good to know that option is available. I'll definitely keep it in mind.
I'm not sure if any other ballparks have stands like that. But everytime I go to a game, it reminds me how awesome it is to have a dog and a beer. Instead of just a coke with a smuggled in flask of rum.
Skydome: $9.75 for domestic 16oz can, $10.25 for imported.
Can't remember the prices for the draught beer. Lines were 40 minutes long on the weekend. Anyone?
Is it really that fucking high for a Jays game now? I believe though they had $2 dollar beer tuesdays in the upper decks.
I never bother with the 12 oz. It's $11 for a 20oz domestic, and $12 for a 20oz Guinness. I opt for the Guinness.
At Rangers games it really depends, they tend to have a good selection of beers.
It's a shame this doesn't happen anymore.
At Safeco (ignore the flair, Seattle's where I live now), it's $9.75 for most...some of the large size microbrews are $11. Don't know about the cheap domestic stuff, because Safeco's beer selction is competitive with every bar in town, and there's no need.
When I moved to Seattle 4 years ago I thanked the beer gods for the wonderful bounty at Safeco. It's quite possibly the best beer selection of any MLB city and is definitely the best of all the ballparks I've visited.
I went to a Braves game last week and the domestic aluminum bottles (Bud Light, Budweiser, Coors, etc) were $7. I didn't see draft beers anywhere.
Hopefully going to a Rangers game this weekend, so I'll come back and add info for that if nobody beats me to it.
There are draft beers in the outfield pavilion, as well as on the terrace levels. I'm pretty sure the terrace level stands, Tomahawk Tavern, also have Sweetwater, a local craft beer.
Cool. I didn't look very hard for draft because it was raining for the whole game. The relatively small opening of the bottle seemed ideal.
