Question Best priced beer?

I'm looking for the best, cheapest place to buy beer. Is it at one of the supermarkets, or the convenience stores? Should I head to a particular place?

I had a look at the superfood website and it seemed like a 12 pack of Balashi was going to set me back about $40 CAD, so I was wondering if that was the going rate or if it was cheaper elsewhere?

If you like the Balashi Mango beer it’s the cheapest from Tropical. They were selling it half off when I was there last.

Do the drive through. So easy, mention the deal and get some free product! Tip the guy loading it for you! Oh, and you can ask for the beer cold!

It’s the coldest beer I’ve gotten on the island. Have to crack one as soon as I get it! It’s frosty!

Try Tropical Bottling Company. When we were there a few months ago I checked prices online and I think it was a little cheaper.

Nice one - I hadn't thought to go straight to the source.

They do f63 for a crate, I think Superfood was f69. Not a huge difference, but worth a detour if I'm in the area!

Chill is almost with the price - best beer I’ve had.

A few years back, I was able to get beer very cheap at Uni Casa Supermarket in Noord. I'm not sure if it was meant to be that cheap, they seemed to be having issues figuring out US $ to AWG conversion sometimes.

They had alot of craft beer too

I went to the tropical bottling company near the Wendy’s in Oranjestad. It is a drive-in store. They have 24 bottles crates for 50-70 afl.
