beer prices, close to my heart!

[louandkim]

Just cos I am board.... (apart from the constant list of boat jobs I am working through), I got to thinking about one of the things that matters to me, beer prices!!

inspired by the thread about ... how cold are you.....

here in gozo I pay 1 Euro 20 for a large can in Pulus bar the small rinky dink fishermans bar, and 2 Euros for a pint of Chisk larger in the Gleneagles pub...

what you paying?

it may help me to decide where to go next winter!!

[NornaBiron]

€1.50 in the (very) grotty kafeneon, €2.50 - €3 in the bars around town for 500mls mythos, amstel, fix or alpha

 

[tonybannister]

For 50 cl of EFES or Tuborg here in Cesme, Turkey the tax has just gone up and we are paying 6 Lira everywhere (£2-20). May be lower in Didim or Marmaris.

In UK I joined CAMRA as an oldie for £14 PA and I get £20 wotherspoon vouchers back so good deal there.

Love this thread

So looks like I am paying too much for my beer in Turkey. Supermarket price £1.30, wine £5 or in bar £10 Scotch £25 bottle. However nearest Lydl is in Greece only 7 miles away and costs £7 return on the ferry or of course I have my own transport.

That's not fair!

€0.35 a can in Lidl for German beer. €2.50 per 1/2 litre in the marina bar.

OK Duncan, so what's the story? Are you sleeping with Mimi or something? He charges me €3/pint.

Could someone please explain: In Turkey a can from the Supermarket is circa €1.50, whilst in Greece it's €0.50-0.70, but at a bar in Turkey a beer's around €2.00, whilst in Greece it's more like €3. At the end of last winter in Marmaris (Yat Marin) it was cheaper to buy a beer in the bar during Happy Hour (complete with glass and a bowl of peanuts) than to buy a can in the marina supermarket next door.

Beer purchased in a keg by a bar is always cheaper per litre than packaged beer. supermarkets tend to have a standard mark up on beer (15% - 50%) but bars usually have a much higher mark up so the sale price per litre is higher than supermarkets. You must have found a bar with a low mark up.

Yacht Marine happy hour has always been very cheap (even so we kicked up like hell last time they increased it from 2.50 to 4.00 so they reduced it to 3.50) cruising last summer their happy hour was the cheapest I found. Didim you can get it around 4.00. Is Yacht Marine still 3.50TL after the recent tax increases.
Funny thing about Greek bar prices compared to supermarket - I reckon they load the price for the bowl of nibbles you get.
