A lesson in finance.


Approximate price for a Maß this year is 11.70 €
That exchanges to $12.75

A Maß contains approximately 33.8 ounces
A pint at our favorite pub contains 16 ounces
So, a Maß is 2.1 pints

Now, a good pint (not during happy hour) is $6.00
Thus, $6.00 a pint times 2.1 pints per Maß = $12.60

We will be paying a 15¢ premium for all the fun and frivolity. Can't beat that ....
