Thursday is a reminder that the weekend is just around the corner. Time to compare beer prices in Europe!

Who would you like to drink your next beer with? And where?

The beer prices shown here refer to local draught 0.5 litre beer in a restaurant.

      Right? I’m Canadian and That’s like $12 a beer, that’s absurd. Here it’s like $6 and I thought that was high

        I’m Finnish and we’re definitely not as wealthy as Norway, and the 7€ is an average, and I’d say skewed for some reason. I live in one of the main cities in Finland, not a large one, but large for a Finnish one. It’s very common to have to pay 8,5€ for a 0.33l (11,15floz) basic lager in the restaurants, cafes and bars that are in the center. It’s disgusting.

        There are a few cheaper places, but any non-sleazy place basically.

          I would pay the equivalent to 4€ for that beer. I wonder why the prices are so different

            Idk, probably just sales unaffected by raising prices; the bars at the center are full on the weekends no matter what. We love our alcohol.

            Also high taxes on alcohol

      A pint costs about that in Australia too, but everyone still drinks. Classic tax upon the poor.
