Europe is famous for its beers, with every country proudly producing their own unique versions of the “amber nectar”. It is estimated that Europe has some 50,000 different beer brands produced by over 10,000 breweries across the continent.
Perhaps the most renowned beer-producing countries are Germany, the Czech Republic and Belgium. However, if you are looking for the cheapest beer in Europe, then you mght need to travel to Spain. Benidorm is renowned for being a party-town, attracting fun-loving Brits in their hundreds of thousands.
The resort city welcomed close to 3 million people last year, among them nearly 900,000 UK travellers.
According to one Brit, “the world’s cheapest pint” is to be found at the 4JAKS bar, costing less than a bunch of bananas in Benidorm, which retail for around 90p.
Harry, who posts on TikTok as @harrytokky, shared that at the 4JAKS, you can pay just 43p for an ice-cold, delicious pint of beer. “Blimey! What can you get for 43p this day and age?” Harry asked the owner of the pub when he revealed the price of the beer.
It turns out the beer is “Estrella Damm” and the special price is only on offer four nights of the week. The owner explained to Harry why he is able to offer such a great price for the beer.
“The reason it’s so cheap is that we’ve done a deal with them for the promotions,” he explained. He added that it’s “usually between six and 10 o’clock,” or “four to eight at night,” depending on the day.
There are cheaper pints available, but it would require travelling the world and going beyond Europe to hunt them down.
According to the website pint price.com, the cheapest beer is the world is in Tadjikistan, and costs just 30 pence.
Bhutan comes next at 36 pence, followed by Burundi (37 pence) and then North Korea no less, where visitors to the “Hermit” state can get a pint for just 38 pence.
