If you're looking for a cold beer in South Africa, you may be wondering how much it will cost you. The price of beer in South African bars varies depending on the type of beer and the location. To get an idea of the average cost of a beer in South Africa, researchers looked at the prices of well-known brands from online stores and the Numbeo statistics database, as well as local beer prices from hotel and bar menus. The average price of a 330 ml bottle of beer from well-known brands is around $1.50 USD.
However, prices can vary significantly depending on the type of beer and where you buy it. For example, a six-pack of beers can cost as little as $1.60 USD, while a bottle of wine can be purchased for just over $5 USD. In addition to the cost of beer, it's also interesting to look at how much beer is consumed in South Africa compared to other countries. According to data from the World Health Organization, South Africans consume an average of 468 beers per year, which is equivalent to 1.3 beers per day.
This puts South Africa in the top 10 countries for beer consumption per capita. Although fewer people have been able to have a beer in the pub during this pandemic, the worldwide desire for beer prevails. South African-themed restaurants around the world are charging not-insignificant amounts for items such as traditional gatsby, bobotie or mallow pudding. Even so, sales of Corona beer skyrocketed last year, despite or perhaps due to associations with the coronavirus. The coastal city allows locals to run out of legs for less compared to South Africa's other two “big hitters”. So if you're looking for a cold one in South Africa, you can expect to pay around $1.50 USD for a 330 ml bottle of beer from well-known brands.
