World Beer Index 2021

Post by tamada » March 1, 2021, 2:15 pm

There's a lot of complaints about inflated beer prices in Thailand and some like to quote how beer is a lot cheaper in the Philippines. According to this, it's only about half a buck a bottle cheaper. Unfortunately, there's no data from Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam or Cambodia.

The China figure is BS and apparently Aussies & Kiwi's don't drink beer, looks like a dodgy article

All a bit silly, really.

All they have done is averaged the prices of a 330ml bottle between a supermarket and a hotel in the respective cities.

While the supermarket prices should be fairly competitive (and comparable) in each city, the hotel prices could vary wildly, between a suburban pub, or a 6 star hotel.

Anyone who has had a beer in a bar in Singapore, and also Bangkok, would recognise that immediately.

Also doesn't ring true for Beijing, although my data points are a bit dated. :guiness:

Like someone comparing a bottle of proper beer to a bottle of p*ss (budwieser/heinekin or fosters )..... total waste of time

Not unusually, we seem to be straying off course.

The thread is about the (relative) price of beer around (most of) the globe - not the relative merits of any particular brew.

The former is entirely objective, while the latter is undoubtedly subjective.

statts, you've done it again. :shock:

Jack my man. When discussing beer, there are no limits.

- Beer is better than strawberry Ice Cream
- Beer breakfast of champions.

However, the best beer commercial ever is undoubtedly
