A British expat showed how affordable pints of beer can be in Benidorm – especially when you know where to look. One particular location is selling Estrella for a matter of pennies
A British expat believes he could have found the “world’s cheapest pint” in Benidorm. Louis Grier, who lives in the municipality in Alicante, is used to pints being affordable.
He grabbed a beer for 85p at Uncle Ron’s a fortnight ago, but has now found an option that’s even cheaper. The 32-year-old, who has 42,800 followers, shared his experience on social media platform TikTok after visiting 4 JKS.
In his short clip, he ordered an Estrella Damm for just 50 cents – equivalent to around 43p. And people have been travelling from far and wide to get the deal themselves.
Louis dreamt up the idea of serving the “cheapest pints on the planet” with the bar’s owners, Brett and Andrea.
They agreed to flog the beer less than £1 for a four-day-a-week promotion. But despite the “cheap” price tag, the trio insist it’s “not a cheap beer” as the taste is still great.
Louis claims the pint has already become “a local legend” – and the owners even let him hop behind the bar to pour one.
He said: “People are coming from everywhere to meet up and try it with me. They’re calling it the ‘Fanatic Pint’. It’s the cheapest in Spain, maybe even the world.”
The tipple is so popular that Benidorm holidaymakers are apparently willing to “queue for the opportunity” to get one. And part of the fun is getting in line with fellow tourists and locals who love to have some fun over a pint of beer!
Louis said: “It’s not just about the pint; it’s about the people, the laughter, and keeping Benidorm fun and affordable. This is my second home. Actually, scratch that; this is my real home.”
Owners of the bar, Brett and Andrea, added: “It’s about bringing people together and giving people in Benidorm what they want.
“We’re not pursuing five-star reviews. We are here for good times, reasonable prices, and a bit of madness. That is what Benidorm is all about.”
While Louis may think he’s found the cheapest pint in the world, you can get beer even cheaper elsewhere.
Researchers at Bountii – a price search engine – looked at the average pint prices in countries across the world. Apparently, you can enjoy the amber nectar without breaking the bank in these countries…
