WRIGLEYVILLE — It's not just ticket prices going up at Wrigley Field for the playoffs.

You'll dig deeper for beer, too.

The Cubs return to town Tuesday night for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series, and fans going to Wrigley will see some price hikes.

At the start of the postseason this year, the price for a Budweiser went up from $9.75 to $10.50, and Goose Island went up from $10.50 to $11.50.

A veteran beer vendor said raising prices for the playoffs is nothing new. During the 2016 postseason, Budweiser went up from $8.75 to $9.75, and Goose Island went up from $9.50 to $10.50.

Those prices didn't come back down when baseball resumed in 2017.

The beer vendor said that none of his customers complained to him during the National League Division Series.
