Beer buffs won’t have to go far or pay a fortune to enjoy a brewski in these 10 cities.

Real estate website Redfin and the Beer Institute have crafted a list of the best cities for beer drinkers based on several factors, including active brewery permits, low state beer taxes and “walk scores” representing how easy it is to hoof it to a pub (so you’re not drinking and driving), with 100 being the best walk score.

Join us on a virtual pub crawl through the hot spots for enjoying a cold one.
