The price of beer has risen sharply over the past decade in many troubled euro zone nations. On an index starting at 100 in 1996, the average price of beer for consumers has rocketed in Spain, Italy and Greece – above 130, 140 and 170 on that index respectively. In Ireland, home of Guinness, however, prices have moderated somewhat since the early 2000s.
