I know you didn't ask for it, but here it is anyway (I thought it would be fun to compare).

In Sweden, you can get 24 domestic beers for 30 - 35 USD (500ml, per can).
In Sweden, you can get six Guinness for 13 USD (330ml, per bottle).
In Sweden, a beer at the pub will cost you around 5 USD.

Just to convert, that's about $20-22 for a case, $5.50-7 for a pint

AFAIK we pay a higher tax on such things in the UK than in the US

Tesco's prices

Carling x24 = 26.29 usd

Guinness x4 = 10.79 usd

Average pint price = 6.07 usd

Not sure I get the joke about Canada.

Anyway here a flat (is what we call a 24 pack and a 12 is called a case) will cost you about 30USD, although this varies from province to province.

A drink in a pub 4USD and up (unless you can find specials in grimier places)

A 6 pack of guiness probably about 14 USD, although I think we mostly sell them in tall packs of 4 for like 12 USD

Good thing I don't like beer.
Either way, I'm not even old enough.
I don't even know why I'm reading this.

Oh well, future reference I guess?

I don't touch beer either - but I know we do make our own here in Singapore.

4 pack of 440 ml (tall cans) guiness is 10.99 Canadian. Which is just over 10 USD

24 pack of labatt blue (which is a pretty standard beer is 37.55 Canadian, which is like 34 USD (other standard beers like molson Canadian etc. are the same price.)
