Top 10 cheapest countries in the world for a beer

Amid cost-of-living pressures we could all do with a cheap pint of beer, but in which countries around the world will you get the most bang for your buck?

As summer approaches and people start thinking about where to go on holiday, discount provider Bountii has compiled a list of the most and least expensive countries for a pint of beer. A total of 88 countries feature on the list, with the price ranging from 25p for the cheapest beer to the equivalent of £8.51 for the average pint in the most expensive country.

The majority of countries which had the lowest price per pint in GBP can be found in Asia. However, an African nation topped the list, with the average pint costing the equivalent of £0.25.

The price of a pint continues to rise in the UK. In London, a beer can now cost an eye-watering £9.00, according to reports. Despite these hefty prices, the UK ranked as the 18th most expensive country for a pint, with an average cost of £4.50. The US was more expensive, with beer costing the equivalent of £4.70.

Below you will find the list of the most affordable pints around the globe.

The least expensive nations to buy a beer

The Cheapest Pint: Nigeria

Nigeria offers the cheapest pint in the world, at just £0.25, according to data compiled by numbeo.com. Nigeria’s lack of development and economic growth are likely contributing factors to this low price, Bountii has said.

Still, Nigeria doesn’t disappoint when it comes to variety. Icon brands including Gulder, Heineken, 33 Export, Goldberg, and Hero are all exported to Nigeria. The nation has a rich history of beer consumption, is even home to Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (FES). Diageo owns a majority stake in the brewery, and FES is designed for export, and is more heavily hopped than Guinness Draught and Extra Stout, which gives it a more bitter taste.
