As revellers don green hats for St Patrick's Day, a new index reveals the world's cheapest beer can be found for under £1 a pint. Travel planning site GoEuro has compiled a Beer Price Index ranking 75 cities by the cost of a hotel beer, with several locations offering brews at bargain prices.
The index, based on hotel surveys for consistency, highlights that pub prices are often even lower. While Guinness remains a St Patrick's Day favourite, global beer consumption has stagnated, with Asia drinking 1.3% less in 2014 compared to 2013, according to a Kirin report.
GoEuro's data shows the most affordable cities for beer include destinations in Eastern Europe and Asia, where a pint can cost less than £1. The index aims to help travellers find the best value, though actual prices may vary by locale.
Beer lovers are invited to share cheaper finds on GoEuro's Facebook or Twitter pages, as the search for the world's most affordable pint continues.
