--- title: "Beer price per litre: can, bottle or draught calculator" url: "https://cervejabarata.com.br/en/price-per-litre" lang: en --- # Beer price per litre To compare beers of different sizes, divide the price by the volume in millilitres and multiply by 1,000. A 350 ml can for R$ 5 works out at R$ 14,29/L; a 600 ml bottle for R$ 9,99, at R$ 16,65/L. Real example (Salvador, Oct 2026): at the median of the bars, a 350 ml can costs R$ 9,00 (R$ 25,71/L), and a 600 ml bottle, R$ 17,90 (R$ 29,83/L). ## Work it out The calculator needs JavaScript. The tables below give the price of a litre without it. ## How many make a litre The rule: divide the price by the volume in litres. A 350 ml can holds 0.35 L; a 600 ml bottle, 0.6 L; a litrão, 1 L. | Size | Volume | Per litre | | --- | --- | --- | | Can 269 ml | 0.269 L | 3.72 | | Can 350 ml | 0.35 L | 2.86 | | Tall can 473 ml (latão) | 0.473 L | 2.11 | | Long neck 275 ml | 0.275 L | 3.64 | | Long neck 330 ml | 0.33 L | 3.03 | | Long neck 355 ml | 0.355 L | 2.82 | | Bottle 300 ml (litrinho) | 0.3 L | 3.33 | | Bottle 600 ml | 0.6 L | 1.67 | | Litre bottle 1 L (litrão) | 1 L | 1 | | Chopp (draught) 300 ml | 0.3 L | 3.33 | | Chopp (draught) 400 ml | 0.4 L | 2.5 | | Chopp (draught) 500 ml | 0.5 L | 2 | | Beer tower 2.5 L | 2.5 L | 0.4 | ## Ready-made table: the price of a litre Find the size in the row and the price paid in the column: where they meet is the price of a litre. | Size | R$ 3 | R$ 5 | R$ 7 | R$ 10 | R$ 12 | R$ 15 | R$ 20 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Can 269 ml | R$ 11,15/L | R$ 18,59/L | R$ 26,02/L | R$ 37,17/L | R$ 44,61/L | R$ 55,76/L | R$ 74,35/L | | Can 350 ml | R$ 8,57/L | R$ 14,29/L | R$ 20,00/L | R$ 28,57/L | R$ 34,29/L | R$ 42,86/L | R$ 57,14/L | | Tall can 473 ml (latão) | R$ 6,34/L | R$ 10,57/L | R$ 14,80/L | R$ 21,14/L | R$ 25,37/L | R$ 31,71/L | R$ 42,28/L | | Long neck 330 ml | R$ 9,09/L | R$ 15,15/L | R$ 21,21/L | R$ 30,30/L | R$ 36,36/L | R$ 45,45/L | R$ 60,61/L | | Bottle 600 ml | R$ 5,00/L | R$ 8,33/L | R$ 11,67/L | R$ 16,67/L | R$ 20,00/L | R$ 25,00/L | R$ 33,33/L | | Litre bottle 1 L (litrão) | R$ 3,00/L | R$ 5,00/L | R$ 7,00/L | R$ 10,00/L | R$ 12,00/L | R$ 15,00/L | R$ 20,00/L | | Chopp (draught) 300 ml | R$ 10,00/L | R$ 16,67/L | R$ 23,33/L | R$ 33,33/L | R$ 40,00/L | R$ 50,00/L | R$ 66,67/L | | Chopp (draught) 500 ml | R$ 6,00/L | R$ 10,00/L | R$ 14,00/L | R$ 20,00/L | R$ 24,00/L | R$ 30,00/L | R$ 40,00/L | ## Buckets, combos, two-for-one and towers When one price buys more than one serving, count them all: the total volume is what goes into the sum. - **Bucket (balde):** five 355 ml long necks for R$ 45 add up to 1,775 ml, or R$ 25,35/L. - **Combo:** three 350 ml cans for R$ 15 add up to 1,050 ml, or R$ 14,29/L. - **Two-for-one (em dobro):** two 300 ml chopps for the price of one, R$ 8, add up to 600 ml, or R$ 13,33/L. - **Beer tower (torre):** 2.5 L for R$ 60, or R$ 24,00/L. A cheaper litre is no reason to drink more: the sum only shows what each litre costs. ## Why compare by the litre Cans, long necks, bottles and draught come in different sizes, so the price on the menu doesn't say which beer gives more for the money. A 269 ml can for R$ 5 looks cheaper than a 350 ml can for R$ 6, but its litre costs more: R$ 18,59/L against R$ 17,14/L. That's why every list on this site ranks prices by the litre, cheapest first, always with the real price and size next to it.

Divide the price by the total volume in millilitres and multiply by 1,000. A 600 ml bottle for R$ 9,99: 9.99 ÷ 600 × 1,000 = R$ 16,65/L. With a bucket or a combo, count every serving. ### How many cans make a litre? 2.86 cans of 350 ml (1,000 ÷ 350). With the small 269 ml can, 3.72; with the 473 ml latão, 2.11. ### Can or bottle: which is better value? It depends on the prices: the 600 ml bottle's litre is cheaper when it costs less than the 350 ml can's price times 1.71 (600 ÷ 350). With the can at R$ 5, the bottle is better value below R$ 8,57. Real example (Salvador, Oct 2026): at the median of the bars, a 350 ml can costs R$ 9,00 (R$ 25,71/L) and a 600 ml bottle, R$ 17,90 (R$ 29,83/L); the can came out cheaper per litre. In supermarkets, a 350 ml can costs R$ 4,69 (R$ 13,40/L) and a 600 ml bottle, R$ 12,77 (R$ 21,28/L). ### What is two-for-one chopp, and how much is the litre? Two servings for the price of one: two 300 ml chopps for R$ 8 add up to 600 ml, or R$ 13,33/L. It only holds on the days and at the times the bar says. ### How do I work out the litre of a bucket? Count the bottles in it: five 355 ml long necks for R$ 45 add up to 1,775 ml, or R$ 25,35/L. ### How many millilitres are in a litrão, a long neck or a chopp? A litrão holds 1,000 ml; a long neck, 275 to 355 ml; a garrafa, 600 ml (the litrinho, 300 ml); a can, 269, 350 or 473 ml (the latão); a glass of chopp, usually 300 ml, sometimes 400 or 500 ml. --- Drink responsibly · Don't drink and drive · Not for anyone under 18 Beba com moderação · Se beber, não dirija · Proibido para menores de 18 anos
