Flip a coaster
Tap a coaster and flip it: the lowest price for that beer, and the pub that serves it.
How we calculate
A small glass, a bottle and a half litre can't simply be compared. So we convert everything to a 25 cl glass.
alcohol%×(cl ÷ 25)÷price
That number is the deal score: the higher, the more you get for your money. If the menu lists no size, we calculate per glass and list the beer separately at the bottom.
Worked example (fixed figures, not live)
Gulden Draak Classic
10.5% × (33 ÷ 25) ÷ €6.70 = 2.07
2.07Deal
score
How the score is built
How much beer you get per euro: alcohol% × glass, converted to 25 cl, divided by the price. Higher is a better deal.

How it works for venuesQuestions
What does BierChecker cost?
Nothing. The app is free and you don't need an account. Find it useful? You can buy us a beer in the app.
Where do the prices come from?
From the beer menu on the venue's website. We read it automatically and show the date. Menu not online? Take a photo in the app and it's there for everyone right away.
Which cities are covered?
16 cities for now, from Amsterdam to Zwolle: see them all. In the app you can search all of the Netherlands; the more people scan, the more menus we have.
Is a price wrong?
Tap "Something wrong?" below the beers in the app. We'll look into it and read the menu again if needed.
Is this a contest to drink the most?
No. BierChecker shows where you get the most for your money, so you choose smart. Enjoy it, drink responsibly and have a glass of water too. The app is 18+.
When is the app coming?
Soon in the App Store, iPhone first. Leave your email address and you'll be the first to know.
