Not in England; there Stella is marketed as a premium beer. Its tag line until very recently was “reassuringly expensive” and commercials were about how expensive it was, but worth it. In one, a young van Gogh sold all his paintings in order to buy one pint of Stella Artois.
I went to a restaurant in England where Budweiser was the most expensive beer on the menu. It’s an import, you know.
True in the past but it’s very definitely now well known here as “wife beater”. You can get 8 cans for £7 in Tesco. Reassuringly cheap.
That’s $1.44/can. That is cheap in England? I am not used to paying over $1 for better stuff (although I suspect there is a size difference - 12 fl. oz. here).
That’s for 440ml cans, which is about 14.8 fl. oz. That’s pretty much as cheap as it gets here for a 5% beer (actually lager). Of course there’s always White Lightning cider, but I do have standards.
For a 12 oz can of “cheap” American lager (Pabst, Olde Style, Natural Lite) its about 75 cents, when bought in the common size packaging, like a 12 pack for 7 dollars, which is pretty standard here in SLC…
I see 30 packs sold for 15 to 17 dollars, depending on brand and specific store, which is even a bit cheaper than the 12 packs are, on a price per can basis.
I can get a 6-pack of 16 oz Miller High Life for $3.74 here. Adjusting to a 12-oz beer, that’s 47 cents each or 62 cents a can.
Thats pretty damn cheap; Utah has always been a relatively expensive place to drink, despite having wages that are well below the national average, our beer is usually more than it is in the neighboring states (Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming etc) and to add insult to injury, the beer is 3.2%
Lessee–30 pack of 12 oz. Pabst cans is generally around 11.99 or 12.99 round here, so we’re looking at 40-43 cents per can (plus a few extra pennies for tax.)
For Comparison:
A German case (20 bottles) of Flensburger Pilsener costs around 11 Euros as of '08, according to an internet message board I found (I have no reason to believe they are lying?). That is around $16.00… at .80 cents a bottle. That’s cheap for German beer-- and I would rather drink a “Flens” than a PBR, indubiably.
– that’s ,33l bottles, a little less than 12 ozs,
There is also a return on the swing top bottles… so, I don’t know if that is before or after the deposit.
In German, the swing top bottles are known as Bügelflaschen.
Boooüg-el- flash-in
Beautiful word, Bügelflaschen…
