Oh to be in Scotland for the beer |

Filed under: Beer, British Isles 
Ah, Scotland. The beautiful landscape. The deep lochs. The cheap beer!
That's right. Beer in Scotland is so inexpensive that it costs less than bottled water and soda. At least in the supermarkets. It's still more expensive in the pubs.
The price of beer in Scottish supermarkets has been trending down for quite some time. The reason is competition. More supermarkets are selling beer as compared to many years ago. And more recently, people want to drink at home since the smoking bans went into effect. The combination of more competition and higher volume of sales has driven down the prices.
Oh yeah. I know that getting alcohol from the supermarkets and liquor stores anywhere is cheaper than the bars, but when do I get beer cheaper than water? Surely it has to happen soon, at least where smoking bans are in effect. Maybe if we all buy more beer at once, and keep it up, we can make it happen. It'll be a group effort. Beer drinkers unite!Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
