How much is a pint across the world?

Posted on | June 3, 2008 | 51 Comments

An interesting concept for a website. People put in their country, nearest town, and the price of a pint. It then gives you the average price for the country.

However, I suspect some Irish users aren’t taking it altogether seriously.

    I’ll tell you what, those Danes are lying cunts for a start.

    €4.44 my hole. It’s about 8 quid!

    I wouldn’t trust a Dane as far as I could have an ogre throw him.

    It sets him back 10 more pints and a chapter in the book.

    Dozy Dutch cunts can’t tell the difference between a pint and those hooring glasses they use.

    That’s funny – I feel sort of sorry for the people who did it seriously.

    Fair point. Might be easier to ask how much less he has in his wallet the morning afer than he had before he went out and just divide it by a ludicrously high number. Having subtracted the price of a pack of Major’s, of course.

    But they believed in enforced sterilisation and orphan abuse so you should all be all for them. Has anyone read Borderliners by Peter Hoeg?

    Here in Woomera in the South Australian Outback, Guinness is $5.50 for a 440ml can. That’s about 3.40Euros.

    Not only is he a sunglasses on the head, but Ralph Lauren jumper on shoulders, neatly pressed chinos and a pair of loafers with tassels on the front.

  34. Puerile Pish

    And he probably drives a convertible with dire straits, the eagles and santana on a continuous loop.

    Jo says he’s a Bridie Gallagher man and that he drives a Citroen 2CV that runs on vegetable oil (to save the planet )PP

    Hoy, maggot, why me? I don’t know who Bridie GAllaher is?

    I am sensing a fear of TM here, so Jo you reckon he is more Fred Freegan than Howth yacht club? I am not sure I think his new found author success will see him drinking in wine bars and shopping in Harvey Nicks rather than skip scrabbling.

    Back in the 80′s a newspaper car section reviewed the
    Citroen 2CV as follows:

    “The Citroen 2CV is the only car on the planet that uses the same engine as the Moulinex Food Processor.

    The sole optional extra is a bumper sticker saying ‘Nuclear Power – No Way’.”

    I still remember it word for word.

    In Rockngham WA in the Swinging Pig.(get it)? Five dollars. About three euro. It’s not a bad drop.I’ve drank worse in Dublin.

    You wanted actual answers, yeah Twenty?

    Grand.

    In my current local (Smyths Bridge House Pub, Donabate, Co. Dublin) the pint of Guinness is €3.90, although they drop that to €3.45 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

  43. Twenty Major

    That’s a reasonable price, you have to say.

  44. morgor the tourist
    June 5th, 2008 @ 2:09 pm

    you can get a pint in the outskirts of prague for 30 crowns which is about €1.20.

  45. NiallOK
    June 5th, 2008 @ 3:06 pm

    You’re not talking Guinness there though are you, morgor? More likely Staro, Urquell or another local equivalent.

  46. morgor the satisfied
    June 5th, 2008 @ 4:53 pm

    aye, just the local beers, but why would you drink anything else when you’re there?

    There’s an Irish bar here in Pamplona owned by a guy from Dublin where you’ll get a pint of average stout for Euro 4.50.

    Can you imagine that, 4. fucking 50 for a pint of Guinness in a small provincial Spanish city?. I know places in north inner city Dublin where it’s cheaper!!

    And here’s the thing, the cunt’s selling it by the fuckin bucketload.

    The fucker must be as happy as a dog with two dicks.

  48. NiallOK
    June 6th, 2008 @ 4:10 am

    Fair point, morgor, fair point. All I drank when I was there was Staro.

    In Mexico D.F. a pint/can of Guiness is about 65pesos = 4 euro… but the best bit, brace yourselves, they pour it holding the can about three feet above the glass… and then try to argue with you when you tell them it tastes like muck…

    India was the best ever for beer prices-think it was about 32 cent a pint or even less….
    New Zealand is not as good as I thought for the ‘ol alkyhol prices-a bottle here is about 8 NZ dollars (approx 4 euro), and a pint is more-but their pint glasses are mysteriously smaller than the ones we’re used to back in Ireland.
    Wine here can be 12-14 NZ dollars a glass (6-7 euro) but they use MASSIVE glasses and fill them right up-was pissed after two glasses the other night….
