My friend in Germany sent this to me. The price is €0.75 per can after a discount using the grocery’s app.
I looked up the price locally for me (Washington state, hence the asterisk) at the Kroger-affiliated Fred Meyer, and it was on sale for $23 for a 24 pack of Budweiser. That boils down to €0.81 per can.
*In the title was to acknowledge that Washington state is expensive and I’m sure elsewhere in the country you could find a better deal. But for my little corner of the country, the title holds true.
**My fellow continent-dweller pointed out that our 12oz beers are actually 355ml, and the 330ml can is smaller. Proportionally that brings the price down to exactly €0.75 per can from my benchmark. Add that to a TIL for me.
Agreed. I just usually assume the price to import and such would keep the price higher overseas.
Moreso pointing out that we are getting robbed on prices even for our domestic offerings
This one is brewed in Germany at the same plant that makes Corona.
I expect it’s not an import, but produced under license somwhere in Europe. There’s big brewing operations in UK and Croatia that makes it.
Budweiser was bought by InBev, the same company that makes Stella Artois and Beck. That would give InBev the right to make Budweiser anywhere it owns a brewery.
you know, maybe there are some breweries in germany, too… some that can sell the cleaning water of the brewing copper as bud light
That or Budweiser doesn’t get charged duties cuz it’s just that bad, so the govt doesn’t see it as a threat to domestically produced beer 😂
