Norway: Norway has the most expensive beer

Norway has the most expensive beer off all Nordic countries. The beer in Norway is twice as expensive as Danish beer. One litre of Danish beer costs NOK 7.32 when taxes have been deducted, while the Norwegian beer costs NOK 13.3, Norway Post reported on October 18. On the other side the Swedes have to spend NOK 11.26 plus tax.

Norway is first as well in this list when it comes to tax, since 62 % of what Norwegians pay in total for the beer ends up in the state coffers. In Finland 51 % of the total cost ends up as tax, while in Sweden the percentage is 49%, and in Denmark 42 %.
