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.

      In a just world they should be getting their beer for free, considering what they’re going through.

        We should organise a beer fundraiser for Ukraine soldiers.

          Better organise vodka fundraisers for the Russian soldiers, so they are easier targets.

    I will just copy my comment from the original thread.

    What’s weird in CZ is that at that price you can get craft beer in small brewerys. Big brewerys raised prices after covid and small brewerys pay half tax.

        Now it makes ~1.8 CZK for small brewerys and double for big ones. (Per 1l of 11° beer)

        In reality it levels the production costs in small scale brewing. The big brewerys still have the advantage of scale so they can lower margins.

        The beer from craft brewerys is cheapest in pubs because it is much cheaper for small producers to get it to consumers that way, bottling process is on small scale too expensive.

        On the other hand shops pressure big producers to make bottles and cans dirt cheap around 10 CZK/0.5l. They have to make it up somewhere so mark-up in kegs is higher.

        This means that in pubs you can get good beer from small/local pub brewery at same price point as from big commercial brewery.

        Edit: I had to look up the tax and it is double counted per 0.5l not 1l

        Because big businesses “donate” more to politicians and have a bunch of highly paid do nothing bullshit jobs in upper management for which they can hire ex politicians who have been helpful to them during their time in office.

    Most pubs and restaurants around here don’t even serve full sized 0.5l beers anymore, the standard size for large has been changed to 0.4l long ago. Fucking shrinkflation.
