Six bucks for 330ml in Japan? Three bucks buys a 500ml can in a Lawsons.
There is so much bullshit on that chart.
I guess they only ranked actual 330ml bottles, not averaging out for options, such as in Qingdao China - where one may prefer to buy Tsingtao by the kilogram, served in a plastic supermarket shopping bag, for approximately fuck-all RMB per kilo.Prices in Asia contrast like crazy. Some are dirt cheap, others very pricey

damn - I've just learned Brothers Beer has opened a new bar in my hood.
My poor old liver - that's now 64 different craft beers available within easy walking distance
As for the beverage and culinary offering, there are 15 taps of Brothers Beer craft beer from the Mount Eden brewery, ... Juke Joint BBQ’s specialty is Southern Style cuisine, with a sharing menu featuring slow-cooked meats and vegetables, such as 14-hour smoked beef brisket, tender spiced lamb shoulder, and smoked and fried chicken. -

Nice in some ways! To be honest, I've found their beer to be quite disappointing and grossly overpriced. I bought a 1L jug last time I was at their city works depot , and was charged over forty bucks! For a litre!
I'm voting with my feet, supporting non hipster bars now

The Southern X in welly charges 48 bucks for a jug of Craft beer but it’s one of those big ones which can easily fill four handles with a bit left over. 40 bucks for a litre is ridiculous.

Handle? One (sniffs first) drinks their craft beer from a tasting glass surely?

The price of drinking out is starting to get ridiculous for sure. All the breweries at the Newtown festival had the price about right, 8-10$ for a plastic cup. When you’re paying 14-15$ a handle it gets pretty hard to justify.

I brew because I enjoy it, but it doesn't take too much beer at around $2/litre to pay off a shiny stainless steel brewery.

'ansome, me lover! I'll be there drektly for a pint, er, glass.

@nzzp I have to concur The Birkenhead joint had sold out of the only Brothers I really rate. Price points on the beers looked OK $11-13 / glass - until I asked and found out the glass was 330 mls.
Jugs weren't quite as bad as you found in the city but 31-33 for a litre is still a joke.
I might go again as the food menu looked interesting but otherwise there is no temptation to walk a km past a freehouse with better beer in bigger glasses for the same price and where they give me a 10% discount or even the, even closer, gastro pub that has panhead for $41 for 1.8 litres and where I also get a 10% loyalty discount.

Dans is fucking great for Red Wine though

I'm a bit of a heathen/amateur at craft beer, I tend to just buy Crankshaft cos I know it's great
I had actually just had a quiet one with a visitor just before coming in here Apologies to all FORGOTTEN 43. Still a nice drop!
