    "This is a snapshot of reported prices in PINTR, not a representative survey of every Australian pub. A venue without a matching price is outside the denominator, rather than counted as expensive.",
    "A table row needs at least 30 contributing venues. City areas use PINTR’s published state-boundary and radius definitions; neighbouring city catchments can overlap.",
    "A snapshot date records when PINTR’s public catalogue was retrieved. It does not mean each menu was checked that day. Individual source-check dates, including blanks, are retained in the downloads.",
    "Inner-join reported regular and happy-hour prices on canonical venue, identified product and pint label. Exclude generic selected-tap offers and member prices.",
    "Average the matched regular prices and matched offer prices within each venue, then count the venue once. Keep equal and higher offer prices as well as lower ones. Retain the earliest component evidence date only when every part is dated.",
    "Beer comparisons use identified products labelled “pint” on the recorded menu. Unspecified tap/house beer listings are excluded. The label does not guarantee the same volume everywhere, particularly in South Australia; these figures are not a like-for-like volume ranking."
