1,6- 1,7 €. But is crap, as I said really watery because is made in here. There is not one international brand of beer which is not significantly gone down in quality once they started making it here. But we still paying full price like beer was made as it should. :)
That's way i'm drinking only Serbian brands (actually one brand).

Generally speaking, I tend to drink beer that's brewed locally, no matter where I am. I find its usually superior. I drank quite a lovely local beer in Malta recently. Kind of like Tennents, but a little sweeter. Name escapes me but try it if you ever visit the place.

For the thread, not a bad cover.

We had great local brewery which made probably best beer in whole old Yugoslavia. You could found that brand in every part of Yugo. Then they started to make worse and worse beer and eventually they closed couple years ago.
There is I think small home brewers now in my area, but that is out of my rich for everyday drinking, both physical and with price.

Local beers or usually great if brewery have bar so you go there and get fresh, unpasteurized beer which is always much better than one in bottles and cans.

I used to drink Warsteiner beer but it got to popular & just did not taste the same. some old guy told me it´s the water they use now... :unsure: the British Army guys called it "wobbly" a good beer RIP

That's always cause what brewery can meet demand for beer. Here popular brands going down with quality in summer because of increased demand. I think there is something in brewing process they speed up and don't go for time as they should. So now my "cheap beer" becomes almost undrinkable to me so I had to switch on dark beer of same brand.

I remember back in Norway, when Norwegian beer was passed through a human body it magically turned into Swedish beer,

( I think it was called Pripps, or perhaps it was drips?)
