American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.
Summertime is for many a time for vacations, and with today’s soaring cost of living, taking a trip can be more expensive than ever. We can’t help you hotel costs and we wouldn’t presume to tell you how to get the best international airfare prices.
But the cost of that beer that you’re drinking – we can help you with that!
The online travel GoEuro recently calculated the cost of buying a beer around the world and the results of their Beer Price Index is essential information for any of us planning a trip overseas.
Research for 2016’s index combines data from 70 cities from around the world and compares the average price of local beers between bars and shops, as well as comparing yearly average purchasing and consumption.
Compared to last year’s review, the prices have changed for multiple reasons, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, domestic inflation and deflation, manufacturers and retailers changing their prices, and changes in domestic tax rates.
Best (and Worst) Global Bang for Your Beer Buck
Eastern Europe, (the birthplace of the Word Tank-Diving Federation), leads the list of cities again this year with Bratislava, Kiev and Krakow, commandeering three of the top five cities around the globe, offering the cheapest beer buzzes. Cape Town (#3) and Mexico City (#5) also stepped up to round out 2016’s most affordable beer cities.
On the other hand, if drinking beer is one of the primary things that you intend to do on your vacation, you want to avoid Lausanne, Hong Kong and Singapore, like the plague.
