Cost of a pint where you are?
Discussion
Went along to a new pub opening up the road last night and it turned out to be the 'hipsterfest'we were expecting, but what got me were the prices.
Large white wine and pint of pale ale - £13.85, three quid dearer than the well establushed trendy pub 150 yards away.
They had menus for the 'craft beers' ranging from £5 - £5.90. These were cans!
We stayed for one, but the thought of over £30 for two drinks each and a glass of peanuts was a little off putting.

You say that like it is a bad thing. Cans are superior in every practical way over bottles, although I agree they don't look as nice.I just went into my local Brewdog to take some beers home for the weekend. £8.50 a bottle, which for what it is I consider a bargain, so I bought four.
ker bars on George Street.My local is cheap for the area for cask ales, but quite pricey for everything else!
There is a choice of ten cask ales at £4 a pint, but they do a 'loyalty card' that gives the 10th pint free, so it is effectively £3.60. Not bad for the edge of London.
The kegged beer is another matter. Last weekend they had one on for £6.60 and another one at £10 a pint! The latter was also 10% alcohol, so was not tried in any case.

Good bang for buck ;-)There is a choice of ten cask ales at £4 a pint, but they do a 'loyalty card' that gives the 10th pint free, so it is effectively £3.60. Not bad for the edge of London.

I've had the double IPA they have before which was 8%, I could only drink 4 before I was KO'd.

£3.50-£4.00 mark, which is normal round my end now.
On the craft mark, we don't have any, until you go into Oxford where I'll quite happily sometimes pay £6/7 a beer, sometimes more as you're paying for something a bit more exclusive.
There's some real nice craft beers out there that are hard to get hold of, so you pay a premium! I' paid £10.90 for a bottle of beer the other week, because it was rare. Some places however charge you £5 for a can of Brewdog, which is £1.50 in Tesco...
