I believe their conclusions are a bit flawed. Namely, the amount that people spend on beer per year.
Here in Germany most of the time I see beer prices at 3.00-5.00€ for 500ml in bars. However, I would say a large portion of beer consumption here is what people get from supermarkets, which is significantly cheaper, with most prices in the range of 0.70-1.00€ for a 500ml bottle.
Furthermore, nobody here really drinks well known brands such as Corona or Heineken, rather more regional beers.
Therefore, I don't see their conclusion that Germans spend an average of $1.9k on beer per year being valid.
- rospaya 6y agoNot sure how they got the sales figures but this might be skewed by the numbre of tourists and visitors if it was calculated pre capita.
- wwtrv 6y agoConsidering that the data on prices is pretty much complete garbage I wouldn’t be surprised if they just multiplied the ‘average’ price and per capita consumption they obtained from WHO (they seem to be implying as much in the methodology section).
- quantified 6y agoHotel lobby bar prices are not representative of actual spend. I’d like real crowdsourced data.
- fdiskl 6y agoi had the same conclusion. Most people would be buying (for example) Franziskaner 500mL cans at ALDI for 80 cents, or getting a crate of beer for about 1 EUR / bottle. I have never even seen a Corona beer in Germany besides at an overpriced Mexican restaurant
