What Star Beer Actually Costs in Accra
Star Beer in Accra costs GHS 15–25 where residents buy it, and GHS 22–40 in the parts of the city built around visitors.

For context inside Accra itself: of the 16 things we price here, fresh coconut carries the widest visitor markup (GHS 5–10 locally against GHS 10–20), while cape coast castle tour is priced most consistently across the city. Star Beer (Bottle) sits closer to the problem end of that scale, so it is worth checking before you buy.
