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.

It says this price is in restaurants; I assume Europe is like North America where the price for a single drink in a restaurant is much higher than at a store, especially if I were to buy a 6 pack in a store?
It’s for draught beer, not bottled or canned
Correct.
In Russia it’s less than $1 per average 0,5 beer but with a restaurant’s mark-up it’s $1-3 even if they are the same (like they bring the same bottle sometimes), so the graph checks out I guess. Although, these mentioned prices are even more pointless if you consider how they relate to the average income in said countries.
In Romania(at least at the store nearest to me), 0.5 l beer is about 0.7€
And this is the price in a big city restaurant. Go to any small town establishment and it will be much cheaper.
I could buy a single can of Jupiler at a grocery store for about 80cents in Amsterdam 7 years ago. Noy sure what the price is now, but that’s cheaper than an individual soda at an American grocery store
And Jupiler is still a somewhat decent beer as far as standard lager goes, you can also get the “hobo” beers with higher alcohol content and even cheaper by the can.
