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 Germany, you can get a cheap beer a lot cheaper in a store though:

    Sternburg Export 0.5L bottle — 69ct

    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

          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.

        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.
