How much does a beer cost at a World Cup game in Vancouver?

There’s a standard range of drink options, along with lots of merch in the concourse.

As Team Canada plays its first World Cup match in Vancouver, there’s one question on everyone’s mind: How much does a beer cost?

At Thursday’s match against Qatar at BC Place, scores of fans (52,497 to be exact) are naturally flocking to concession stands around the arena to grab a cold one or two or five.

Canada fans Craig James and Eric Stodt are enjoying a couple of beers while cheering for the home team.

While somewhat expensive, Stodt says the cost isn’t “out of this world.”

“If you can afford to be here, you can’t complain about the beer prices,” James adds.

As for the exact price, well, that depends on what kind of beverage you’re looking for. (Prices include tax.)

If you prefer your beer without barley, hops and yeast — a.k.a. bottled water — that sets you back $5.75.

Water’s big cousin — a.k.a. non-alcoholic beer — costs $10.75.

For a 473 millilitre can of domestic beer, you pay $16.25; $16.25 to $17.25 for a can of premium.

Draught domestic goes for $20 for 591 ml pour and $22.50 for 710 ml.

Premium draught costs $20 to $23 for 591 ml and $22.50 to $26 for 710 ml.

If you’re feeling fancy, draught craft is $23 for 591 ml and $26 for 710 ml.

Canned cocktails and seltzers cost $12.75 to $13.50 (355 ml). Or sip on a wine for $9.75 (150 ml).
