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.

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:

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

But but it’s cheap and it even has a star!

It tastes cheap too.

Oettinger is even cheaper than that.

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.

[-] tux0r@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

0,5 is pretty good compared to the other two, actually.

[-] Melchior@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

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.

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
