Germany may proudly carry the name of Europe's beer capital, considering its long-standing tradition of producing drafts and lagers dating back as early as the medieval times. However, its neighbors are putting up a good fight in claiming that title. Among these aforementioned European rivals is Poland.
One of the curious facts about Poland is that its people consume an average of 92 liters of beer annually. Although some may consider this obsession with beer as peculiar, there are also concrete reasons that foster such alcoholic frenzy. Beer in Poland seems like the second most important drink after water.
According to The Telegraph, Krakow and Kiev are identified as the cheapest cities to buy beer. The average price of each bottle sold in these cities is equivalent to $1.33. Considering its 'consumer-friendly median cost,' this pretty much explains a fraction of the mystery.
