European Beer Price Index

[Bzfeale80]

I know Iceland isnt technically EU but I payed the euro equivalent of 18e for a savage burger & a bottle of IPA. When i got my bill I was shocked to see the beer was two thirds of the bill (about 12e!)

I can only assume that was before their financial crash in 2008. The Icelandic Kronur has gone down massively in value against the Euro in the meantime. The króna, which was ranked by The Economist in early 2007 as the most overvalued currency in the world (based on the Big Mac Index)

According to pintprice.com the average price of a pint of lager in Iceland is €3.91 http://www.pintprice.com/region.php?/Iceland/EUR.htm

The higher taxes in the northern european countries particularly Norway was to combat alcoholism, in the winter they have very short days and there wasn't much else to do except drink 

They do find other things to do.......
