- MAGZine 11y agoYou'll pay $7 for a 20oz point of something nice at a bar. You can buy 6 packs of good craft beer for $7/$8 at any grocery store.
- rorykoehler 11y agoGrocery store prices are not adjusted to local rental rates?
- vectorjohn 11y agoI don't see why not, they have to pay rent too.
- rorykoehler 11y agoThat was my question. $7-8 for 6 pack of beer seems exceptionally good value for a city like SF.
- thecopy 11y agoIm thinkning of moving to München, this might be another reason too. A Heiniken 33cl beer in Stockholm costs around 12 USD if you are at a nightclub, otherwise around 10 USD.
- rorykoehler 11y agoMunich is much more expensive across the board.
- longlivedeath 11y ago> otherwise around 10 USD wat? it's 1.5$ actually http://www.systembolaget.se/dryck/ol/heineken-153603 http://www.systembolaget.se/dryck/ol/heineken-153603
- thecopy 11y agoSorry, I meant at a pub or a bar.
- rybosome 11y agoYears ago, I met a French woman who had decided to take up residence in Berlin. She told me that the city's unofficial motto was "poor but sexy".
- rorykoehler 11y agoI believe it may even have made it into official marketing campaigns since then. Berlin is gentrifying fast though. The Neukölln neighbourhood is unrecognisable to the place I moved to 4 years ago.
- thetrb 11y agoI think his point was that you CAN buy a $7 beer in a bar, but you can also buy a $1 beer at a grocery store like Trader Joes. So $7 is the high end here, not the "frugal" option.
