If it's 8% you probably shouldn't be ordering it in pints.

lightweight!

Roku gin hasn't gone up. Still regularly available for £25 a bottle.

I don't like wetherspoons. I only go there when I fly from Edinburgh Airport and just because I hate brewdog more than I hate wetherspoons.

[d000hg]

so I should just order 10 schooners of it?

Think you'd be better down at Wetherspoons

The beer price situation has been horrendous in the whole uk for years, especially in the hipster crafty beery places that charge you 4-5 quid but give you the notorious schooner.

Those places I avoid; if you don't serve pints you don't deserve my business.

I have a feeling the draught ale I prefer is in the £3.50ish range in both pubs I drink regularly and I assume the Smiths/Carling is similar. The CAMRA place tends to have several in the £3.50-£4.10 range as well as more specialist (often stronger) beer and ciders in the £4.50-6 range.

£3.50 for a pint of Tennent's at my local boozer in the outskirts of Edinburgh. Comes with a plaster included in the price for when you get stabbed on your way out.

Someone say DOOM: Bar?


Most of the local beers round here are £3.50-4.00 a pint.

I don't know about lagers, as I tend to avoid them.

£6 a pint? Here in London, £7+ is pretty common already. And Heineken is rats piss. Apart from that, a splendid analysis...

In trendy wine-bars and for silly 'craft beer' maybe. £7+ is what you pay in Helsinki!

[Fraidycat]

we were charging £3.50 and still making a profit without ripping people off.

(Yes, I know, business rates, yada, yada, but it's still a ripoff)

£3 is still the price at many weatherpoons in london. £4 in some of the more pricey locations.

So £1.50 for half a pint, if on a really tight budget.

£6 per pint incoming in 3...2...1...

In all the places I've been for the last few months it is £6 a pint whether it is a pub or restaurant.

I paid £6 a pint at a golf club over the weekend (I don't play golf, was attending an event), and over £6 at the Headingley Test Match in June, but I help run a charity event in July and we were charging £3.50 and still making a profit without ripping people off.
