Maybe Benjamin Franklin didn’t actually say “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy,” but we definitely do want you to be happy, and especially happily — and thriftily — drinking on America’s 235th birthday. For our latest price smackdown, we wanted to choose the right beer: it had to be domestic. It had to be tasteful and crisp, which of course led us to one of the more controversial Founding Fathers: Samuel Adams Beer. To help you make poor choices regarding fireworks, we ran down the best and worst prices for six packs of the lager, light and summer ale from 36 stores across the borough.
