Man orders pint of Estrella in Benidorm and says price could be 'world's cheapest'

More info A British expat reckons he may have discovered the "world's cheapest pint" in Benidorm, Spain. Louis Grier, who resides in the municipality in Alicante, is accustomed to reasonably priced pints. He purchased a beer for less than a Euro at Uncle Ron's a fortnight ago, but has now uncovered an even more budget-friendly alternative. The 32-year-old, who boasts 42,800 followers, documented his experience on social media platform TikTok following a visit to 4 JKS. In his brief video, he requested an Estrella Damm for merely 50 cents. And it's not a one off either – as people have been travelling from far and wide to make the most of the deal. Louis came up with the idea to offer the "cheapest pints on the planet" alongside the establishment's proprietors, Brett and Andrea. They agreed to sell the beer for 50 cents as part of a four-day weekly special offer. However, despite the bargain price point, the trio maintain it's "not a cheap beer" since the quality remains excellent.

He remarked: "People are coming from everywhere to meet up and try it with me. They're calling it the 'Fanatic Pint'. It's the cheapest in Spain, maybe even the world." The beverage has proved so sought-after that Benidorm holidaymakers are reportedly prepared to "queue for the opportunity" to sample one. Part of the appeal involves joining the queue alongside fellow tourists and locals who relish having a laugh over a pint of beer! Louis declared: "It's not just about the pint; it's about the people, the laughter, and keeping Benidorm fun and affordable. This is my second home. Actually, scratch that; this is my real home." (Image: Jam Press/@thebenidormfanatic) Bar proprietors Brett and Andrea commented: "It's about bringing people together and giving people in Benidorm what they want. "We're not pursuing five-star reviews. We are here for good times, reasonable prices, and a bit of madness. That is what Benidorm is all about." It may not be the cheapest beer you can find on the planet, but you'd definitely struggle to find prices like that in Dublin! Central Statistics Office figures from 2024 show that the average price of lager in Dublin is €6.01, which is much more steep than you'll find in Benidorm. Meanwhile, the typical price of a pint of stouts like Guinness is €5.77, while cider will cost around €6.27 on average.

The spot called 4 JKS - also known as 4 JAKS - only opened back in Spain in June and regularly gives away free drinks to punters. In a TikTok, Louis said that he came up with the idea himself, along with the bar's owners - Brett and Andrea. The offering is all inspired by the stock exchange. Also in the video, owner Brett explained to viewers that despite the low price tag, it isn't actually a "cheap beer" nor does it come from 'expired' barrels. Instead, Brett made a deal with the beer brand for a four-day-a-week promotion when the cheap 43p pint is served. Louis added that the pint has already become "a local legend" and that he has even popped behind the bar to serve the tipple himself. "People are coming from everywhere to meet up and try it with me," he told What's The Jam. "They're calling it the 'Fanatic Pint'. It's the cheapest in Spain, maybe even the world." And since launching, many travellers reportedly "queue for the opportunity" to get themselves a pint from Louis, who dubs himself as a "Benidorm fanatic". I nabbed a bargain Benidorm penthouse suite with stunning views for just £17-a-head - but it came with a catch Louis stated: "It's not just about the pint; it's about the people, the laughter, and keeping Benidorm fun and affordable. The owners of the bar, Brett and Andrea, continued: "It's about bringing people together and giving people in Benidorm what they want. "We're not pursuing five-star reviews. We are here for good times, reasonable prices, and a bit of madness. "That is what Benidorm is all about." Benidorm is known for usually being a cheap destination - with another youngster, who moved to the popular destination from the UK, also claiming meals "don't break the bank". And another couple recently shared how they left the UK to live in a £2.5k caravan in Benidorm.

Man orders pint in Benidorm and says price could be 'world's cheapest'
A British expat showed how affordable pints of beer can be in Benidorm – especially when you know where to look. One particular location is selling Estrella for a matter of pennies A British expat believes he could have found the "world's cheapest pint" in Benidorm. Louis Grier, who lives in the municipality in Alicante, is used to pints being affordable. He grabbed a beer for 85p at Uncle Ron's a fortnight ago, but has now found an option that's even cheaper. The 32-year-old, who has 42,800 followers, shared his experience on social media platform TikTok after visiting 4 JKS. In his short clip, he ordered an Estrella Damm for just 50 cents – equivalent to around 43p. And people have been travelling from far and wide to get the deal themselves. Louis dreamt up the idea of serving the 'cheapest pints on the planet' with the bar's owners, Brett and Andrea. They agreed to flog the beer less than £1 for a four-day-a-week promotion. But despite the "cheap" price tag, the trio insist it's "not a cheap beer" as the taste is still great. Louis claims the pint has already become 'a local legend' – and the owners even let him hop behind the bar to pour one. He said: 'People are coming from everywhere to meet up and try it with me. They're calling it the 'Fanatic Pint'. It's the cheapest in Spain, maybe even the world.' The tipple is so popular that Benidorm holidaymakers are apparently willing to "queue for the opportunity" to get one.
