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.
I feel for you if you live there.Back on topic. Fat Cat Bewery Norwich has beer just over £3.00 sometimes. Marvellous place.
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.
ker didn't either get chinned or the Police called on him. He displayed every characteristic of smug wker who makes all his money from tourism but despises tourists. Not rushing back in a hurry - we too found that nothing loves Southwold more than Soutwold loves itself, totally overrated. Edited by PurpleTurtle on Monday 22 May 16:33
Generally drink lager, premium lager at that (Moretti, Estrella, Peroni etc.)
Work it's £5.50 in the one opposite or £6.00 around the corner (Moorgate, C. London)
Similar price at home too (Beckenham) although Weatherspoons is a good 30% cheaper if I can find one that isn't full of alchies/isn't sticky

Well paying around £4 for a great pint in a little micro place rotating beers all the time, not had a bad one yet.

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 loldudleybloke said:

That's where they make their money then lolI live in Tbilisi, Georgia at the moment. It's a great friendly place with plenty of new bars and restaurants popping up all the time.
I paid 50p a '500ml' the other day in a reasonable bar overlooking the city. Normal is about £1.50 a pint. Lots of local, Czech and German beer here.
However a couple of places near me have started selling there own real beer. Very much the early stages, but they're having a go at IPAs, APAs, some darker ones too, andeven a propper bitter. It's occasionally a bit hit and miss, but I admire there efforts.

As someone who can count the amount of beers he's drunk on the fingers of one hand, probably with an amputated thumb on the hand in question, I have little to contribute here.
99.9% of the time I just drink vodka, so as long as a bar/pub looks clean, and reasonably devoid of chavs, I'm happy.
Rarely does a shot of Russian/Polish good stuff vary in price that much from pub to pub, so I get a tad miffed if I'm with my beer/cider swilling in-laws, in a comfortable bar, and one of them says, "Blank me! £X a pint! It's 5p cheaper in the Dog and Duck."
Then they get the zig when I don't want to go to the Dog and Duck because I don't like the place.
FWIW, the 3 or 4 times I've veered toward a beer have been when it's been 34c plus, somewhere like Arizona or New Mexico, and the frosted bottles have condensation running down the sides, provoking my thirst.

lol at Estrella and Morretti being 'premium'
Indeed. When I lived in Spain for 6 months, Estrella was the cheapo, bog standard lager and was very nice. Not 'Premium' though!If it is then imported to the UK and priced around £5-6 a pint does that make it 'Premium'?
Oh, and Peroni; am I the only one to think it's overpriced fizzy p1ss?
I'm lucky to have a fantastic local pub in our village.
At least 6, up to 10 ales on at any one time. Price is strength dependent and ranges from around £3.20 for a 3.6% session ale up to £4.50+ for a nice strong 5.9%. All kinds of guest ales on, always have Harveys and Abbot on, and then can be from breweries all over the UK.
Not sure how much they charge for Stella, but I know a pint of (very good) Guinness is £4.
Had a fantastic pint from a brewery in Northern Ireland called Farmageddon last week. Fantastic.
Near Rye, East Sussex.
