So, we couldn’t have been more pleased when the website Thrillist recently figured out which countries offer the cheapest beer in the world, using crowd-sourced data from cost-of-living site Numbeo.com.

The labels are all domestic, of course, and the price is right –perfect for expanding your beer horizon. Based the average combined price of both a 16.9oz domestic draft beer from a bar, and the equivalent-sized bottle sold in a store, the site found that the top five countries were:
5.Ethiopia
Average price for a pint: $0.93

Beers you’d drink: St. George Beer, Bedele pale lager, Harar’s and Meta.

4. Philippines
Average price for a pint: $0.89

Beers you’d drink: San Miguel’s Pale Pilsen’s, Red Horse and Beer na Beer! Pale Pilsen.

3. Ukraine
Average price for a pint: $0.89

Beers you’d drink: Lvivske, Chernigivske, and Obolon.

2. Cambodia
Average price for a pint: $0.88

Beers you’d drink: Angkor, Anchor Beer, Tiger, and Khmer Brewery’s Cambodia.

1. Vietnam
Average price for a pint: $0.76

Beers you’d drink: The homemade larger bia hoi and Bia Hà Nôi.

But then Quartz did the world an even greater service and took a closer look at the price of beer per city.

Here’s what they found.

The three of the top cheapest pours are in:

1. Guangzhou, China ($.36 per .5 L)

2. Manila, Philippines ($.49 per .5 L)

3. Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine ($.36 per .5 L)

Surprisingly, two cities in Saudi Araba –Ad Dammam and Riyadh–where alcohol consumption is banned, tied for the fourth and fifth spots for cheapest beer at $.59 per .5 L draft.

Quartz chalks it up to prices for non-alcoholic beer, which is popular in the country and cheaper to produce.
