How it's made
For each month we take the latest price of each bar, beer and format checked in the 90 days to the month's end, leave out open bars, alcohol-free beer and the prices of supermarkets and depósitos, and publish the median, the middle half (from the 25th to the 75th percentile) and the lowest price per litre. A figure only appears when it rests on at least 5 bars.
