Cost of a pint where you are?

[Jag_NE]

local social club, 2.40 for a pint of kaltenberg hell (my preferred choice), similar for the various other lagers and nitro keg beers, nothing over 2.50 i think, its a very well kept venue too. no real ale however.

local pub, 2.60 for lager/ale/nitrokeg. premium lager 2.80 i think.

sunderland suburbs.....

New Hipster bar (Giant Robot) in the wharf, 5-7.50 for a pint - all served in a plastic pint glass! Some decent Toasted largers- probably a wky hipster name for a hybrid but quite nice. Decent staff though and has pop up fried food restaurants inside - although it's normally a shake shack and an Uber at end of night. Rest of the wharf is so so. Big Easy OK has Longboard, Big Wave and Laqunitas on tap. Fine Line has Pistonhead on tap 5.50.

When I was in the City, The Trading House was about 5 up to £26 for some odd Bavarian smoked beer (cross between a wheat beer and Brunswick ham).

At home, a short pushbike ride to a decent country boozer about 4 for a decent pint or micro pub about the same.

Quite like Vagabond for wine (Spitalfields) and The Don is a nice spot.

6 miles outside Bristol, in the country its £4.15 for Guinness.

Anything else I have no idea as I do not drink it.

Sammy Smiths pub almost opposite work, their old brewery bitter has just gone up to £2 a pint. Good for a cheeky lunchtime, get away from the desk and clear my head brew.

[exelero]

Anywhere between 2.6-4 for a Pint. 3.20-3,80 for Guinness

[moosepig]

Proper beer in local boozer £2.90 to £3.50
Fizzy hipster ste in town starts at £5 and apparently has no limit
Cloudy hipster ste (which is becoming all the rage among people who enjoy a morning on the toilet) £4.50 and up

[Monkeylegend]

4 pints for £1 in Sainsbury.

Quite. Why anyone with working tastebuds would drink that I have literally no idea.

I've never had Carling in a pub, only out of cans after we'd finished all the Tennent's and Carlsberg and couldn't buy more from the 24-hour. How does it manage to have no carbonation when in your mouth, but a fizz when it goes down?

I typically spend about £3.00 (Tennent's) - £3.20 (Hop House 13) per pint but the local recently added Birra Moretti, so I spent a night on that before realising it was £3.80. I've only been in a 'Spoons once but I think it was cheap.

5 quid a pint for Peroni. It's 200 meters from my new house.

There's a spoons in town which is 2.50 a pint for ale though. Great with a Camra voucher - 2 quid a pint!

Well known brewery in Southwold took the standing piss what it charged for its bitter in - Southwold. Always annoyed me how the same beer was easily £1 cheaper a pint in Norwich.

It annoyed me so much so that the last time i visited a pub in thee town and bought a drink was Feb 2014...

[telford_mike]

Rural Shropshire (Google it)

Cask ales £2.90, or £2.40 in happy hour 5-7pm. Having neither beard nor sandals I don't touch these of course, but they seem very popular.

Hoegaarden or Guinness £4.50. Other lagers / craft ales etc somewhere in between.

I hate Southwold with a passion. Every pub, shop, restaurant etc is piss takingly expensive, the whole town has such a high opinion of itself it's laughable.
The place should be called Havenofunhere. Did you walk along the front? Every five meters there's a sign telling you not to do something. I had one of the longest weeks of my life there, never to be repeated.
Back on topic, local micropub full of hippies and dogs £2.90-£3.20 hand pulled small brewery beers and lagers. Local boozers, no food, £2.70(Carling) £2.90 Staropramen, Guinness £3.00.
Small Derbyshire market town.

[Sticks.]

Here in rural mid Kent a local free house does Becks Vier for £3.60, whereas an Enterprise Inns pub charges £4.35 for Anstel and at another free house Peroni is £5.10.

There's a lot fewer pubs than there used to be, and at some of those prices that trend seems likely to continue.

[dudleybloke]

Between £2.50 and £4 depending on what beer and what pub.

I live in the same area as you. Always amazes me how the prices change so much from pub to pub. I went to the beefeater recently as we had a voucher for 40% off food but £4.30 a pint! That's where they make their money then lol

Try living there............The town sells itself as a hub of fine food, beer making, culture and arts. Well, food is 9/10 times diabolically expensive for below par stuff, the beer prices are rigged; culture is shipped in according to what the Freud mafia want and as for arts, anyone of any talent lives inland from the town.

Back on topic. Fat Cat Bewery Norwich has beer just over £3.00 sometimes. Marvellous place.

[Morrisboy]

£3 a pint in my local, all from local breweries. Northern tip of Northamptonshire near Corby.
Some of the prices listed here are outrageous!

I feel for you if you live there.
I'm not slagging off the town per se just the shipped in Islingtonites who have altered what I would imagine was a great place to live. Oh and the cost of the beer there was exorbitant. Nice though.

no...not anymore. i shipped out last year. thankful to have lived there but the changes in the people over the last 5 years made it no longer as special as it once was.

There is a reason (among several) why 1,500 pubs a year are closing down.
