How much does a beer cost?
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.

Ruski here.
This is still hella expensive. 150 rubles for half a liter of beer is around double (maybe 1.5x for some brands) what they cost in probably most shops, with some being cheaper in alcohol-centered shops.
Some actually imported stuff goes for that price and tastes considerably better.
There's also domestic beer and the like for around the same price (some cheaper, some more expensive) that tastes better, too.
And all in all, considering the incomes and purchasing power, that 1.6 EUR average in restaurants and stuff sure doesn't feel good.
Just to say it, but in most of the EU a beer in a shop will cost about as much as in Russia. Scandinavia is more expensive due to taxes, but 1.6EUR is fairly normal for a liter.
In Germany, you can get a cheap beer a lot cheaper in a store though:
Of course:
- This is a very cheap beer. But the average German mass-market brand is at around 1€/0.5L too (Jever, Krombacher, Becks, Radeberger are the ones I checked).
- Sternburg used to be a lot cheaper, I remember it being sold around the 30ct price point a couple of years back.
- There is a deposit on bottles/cans but of course that will be returned when you return the bottle.
- by drinking Sterni, you show the people surrounding you, that you are a decent fellow, with whom one can discuss the various ways capitalism makes the world worse
...all while supporting a faceless corporation!
But but it’s cheap and it even has a star!
It tastes cheap too.
It can be even Cheaper. Nörten Hardenberg costs even less:
Oettinger is even cheaper than that.
Free diarrhea included!
Originally, I wanted to post a three-way comparison of Sternburg/Oettinger/0,5 but the specific Rewe supermarket I was looking at apparently doesn't stock either of the other two brands.
0,5 is pretty good compared to the other two, actually.
That bottle has 0.5l, so basic maths it is 1.38€ for a liter of beer.
I didn't notice that you used a different unit than the graphic does (0.5L vs. 1L). Sorry. Still cheaper but not by a lot.
Slava Ukraini!
That said, I really hope you will get rid of your store brand hitler soon, for your own sake as well
