The United Arab Emirates (UAE) follows closely behind, occupying second place with an average price of USD 6.68 per 0.33 liter bottle of imported beer.

Jordan completes the top three, where beer drinkers shell out $6.37 for the same amount. Several factors contribute to the high prices of imported beer in these countries. Import duties, taxes, shipping costs, and an overall high cost of living push prices up.

Although Singapore, Australia, and the United States (US) are also among the top ten countries with the most expensive imported beers, prices for a 0.33-liter bottle range from US$5.17 to US$3.40, which makes them relatively makes affordable.
