There is no way in all holy hell that Canada's beer isn't more expensive.

It's not a measure of how expensive beer is. It's how expensive beer is relative to the minimum wage. How high is minimum wage in Canada.

Are they using the same quantity of beer for each country? The size of 'a beer' varies by each country.

On a side note, how cheap is your beer, because I always get the impression your minimum wage is considerably lower than our £6.31

This chart seems highly subjective. How did they determine the cost of a liter of beer? I can get the Beast much cheaper than I can a good microbrew. Is it determined by restaurant costs or buying beer at the store? That comes out to 3.00 a beer in Texas and we're at $7.25. Thats way too high for 16oz of beer.

Edit - Oh, helps to read.

Regardless, this is still way off. Domestic beer is typically 5.00+ at a bar or restaurant unless you get the special or hit Happy Hour.

Ah it says 0.5 litres which isn't that common of a size for shop bought beer here and is unheard of in bars where the imperial pint is standard.

But yea I agree with ueber it's pretty subjective. Plus buying a beer in different areas of the country varies massively, as in prices will half in some areas compared to London. Still interesting though.
