Price of a Pint

I don't drink beer, but being the kind and caring soul that I am (), I figured you guys deserved to know world prices on a pint...just in case you were travelling.


pintprice.com - the price of beer anywhere in the world

There's something off the wall about this price list. Are the prices supposedly "averaged" for each city? There's CERTAINLY a difference in price for a pint of Budweiser at some local gin mill during Happy Hour vs. a pint of hand-crafted ale in a upscale microbrew pub.

This seems too good to be true I can see some peeps wanting to book their vacation very soon to Ethiopia

Lager in Ethiopia is $0.4 USD

It seems like it's the average of beer prices not just in bars, but if you buy them at a liquor store or grocery store too.

It seems to be correct for Canada, but only in bars, not if you buy at the liquor stores- around $4.50. They are getting input from peopleto set the prices, by the looks of it, so if people are dishonest or there aren't enough, the numbers will be off. looks like all the people who inputted number for Canada were talking about bar prices, for example.


Average price in Ireland is over three pounds??? That's crazy talk.

Ris what's considered the best beer in Canada? I happen to like Labatt Blue but they may be considered equal to Pabst Blue Ribbon (which I also happen to like) here in the US.

In Norway it's more than $10 for a pint. But I knew that already.
