MOST beer lovers blanch at paying $5 for a schooner, but cashed-up city types are spending up to four times that much in Sydney's trendy "beer cafes''. A survey by The Sunday Telegraph found the city's most expensive beer - Rochefort 10, a Belgian brew - sells for the equivalent of $21.77 a schooner. Being a "super premium'' beer, this expensive drop doesn't come in such a common glass, but that's how much it would cost to fill a schooner, with a 330ml bottle going for $16.90 at the Heritage Belgian Beer Cafe in The Rocks. Drinkers get a lot of alcohol for their money, however. The beer has an alcohol volume of 11.3 per cent compared to less than five per cent for most Australian beers. At the same venue, you can also pay $29.60 for a single bottle of Chimay Grande Reserve (a relatively lightweight tipple at just nine per cent). The popular drop comes in a 750ml bottle, though, which means it would cost just $16.77 a schooner.

A pint of beer in a normal pub in the uk is around £2.50 ($6.25 AUD, $5 USD) More like £3 ($7.50AUD, $6USD) in cities etc When i went to Dublin, we paid £10 ($25AUD, $20USD) for a pint of Guinness in a trendy bar in the city centre!! I dont drink much so must admit that i notice price hikes How much is a Schooner?
