As of this moment, that beer, wine, cocktail or soft drink you rely on to melt away the day’s frustrations as you board Metro-North is considerably more expensive than it used to be.
Metro-North spokesman Dan Brucker says prices are up “give or take about a dollar” on beverages. “Some have not been raised in ten years,” adds Brucker.
With the new prices, top shelf liquor is $6.50, Foster’s oil cans are $4.75 and soda is $1.50. Our beloved Sam Adams is considered an “imported beer” despite its Massachusetts address, and thus costs $3.25.
According to Metro-North, riders consumed 1 million bottles and cans of beer and 1 million non alcoholic drinks on the trains last year.
