The cheapest beer, pop and water at the Minnesota State Fair

Don’t overspend on beer, pop and water at the Minnesota State Fair!

I was on KSTP-TV’s Twin Cities Live with the insider advice on who has the best deals.

Beer

• Midway Mens Club
• Underwood Street behind Visitor’s Plaza and across from the Butterfly House
• $6.50 20 ounce taps and $4.00 12 ounce taps of Miller Lite, Coors Lite, Michelob Golden Light and Grain Belt

• 12 ounce tap of Summit or Grain Belt Blu is $5
• $5 Corona, Blue Moon, Mike’s Hard Lemonade, White Claw and others

Pop

• Coca-Cola at Mac’s Grill in Food Building
  • 33 ounces for $3

• Root Beer at Root Beer Barrels (4 locations)
  • 33 ounces for $3

• RC Cola, Sunkist, 7 UP and Dr. Pepper at RC Cola Booth near Visitor’s Plaza
  • 20 ounces for $1.50 with coupon in Blue Ribbon Bargain Book
  • The 33 ounces is not the good deal here
• Note: You can bring pop with you to the Fairgrounds

Water

• You can bring a filled water bottle with you onto the Fairgrounds
• The Fair has water bottle filling stations
• There are water stations around the Fairgrounds, including KSTP TV

• If you are to buy water, purchase it at Rice Kristie Bars on Carnes near Ye Old Mill
  • 2 bottles for $3.50 or 1 for $1.95
  • They also sell 16 ounces of pop for $1, which is a good deal
