According to the DailyMail U.S. soldiers drank pubs and bars in Reykjavik, Iceland dry in a single weekend after the largest NATO military exercise since the Cold War.

A significant number of the bars were forced to make emergency beer runs under the onslaught of thirsty American sailors and Marines in town for the start of Trident Juncture 18.

A beer in the capital city typically sells for 1,000 to 1,500 ISK, which is roughly $8 to $12 USD.

They were also very willing to sample different microbrews as well as the more popular standard lagers.
