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.
In 2022, according to Eurostat, EU's official statistical office, Iceland (297% of the EU average) was the most expensive country for alcoholic beverages whereas Hungary (82%) was the cheapest among 37 European countries.
