Possibly selling with very low margins to increase market share. Just speculating.

Because it's water. Or at least quite close to.

All beer is water with a bit of hops in it.

Plus the RB stands for Returnable Bottle if I am not mistaken. Meaning it will be even cheaper once you return those empties!

Then it's more watery than others.

I'm glad it is. I quite like Lion Lager- as far as commercial SAB beers go.
Many many moons ago, there used to be a Lion Ale, which we don't get anymore. I wonder why?

If it says NRB then you can't return it. This one says RB so you can.

Have you seen the price of bottled water?I'm going for the market share, haha at some places beer is cheaper than coke
Conserve water, drink beer!
Haha, I was telling my wife the other day beer is cheaper and healthier than coke!
Must say as far as commercial beers go its not bad. Cannot stand castle but lion isn't to bad.
The cheapest commercial decent beer is Tafel
probably due to the german influence
