Oslo is the most expensive place I have been to in Europe and the prices are comparible with Tokyo. A small pint of the local Norweigan beer (which tastes like Tennants) costs around £7.

£7 a beer! Where have you been, mate? Ripped off, indeed. I know 90% of Oslo's pubs and bars. Average price for a half-litre is 55 kroner, around £4-5. Plenty of so-called brown pubs - no music, disciplined drinkers - charge around 40 kr, or £3-4!

Here you can see the actual prices of beer in Oslo. Yes, you can buy expensive beer here, but you can also find places with beer under half the price of what this guy paid. A lot of the places in the city centre could be called tourist traps. But it's your choice.
