Cost of a pint where you are?

[jamiebae]

No pints here, but a 500ml beer at my normal place in Zürich is 7.50CHF which is £5.95 at the current rate for 68ml short of a proper pint. Not totally hideous and the beer is good, but not quite Wetherspoons

I do most of my drinking in the bar of a local brewery (Naylors in Crosshills, N Yorkshire, seeing you ask). £2.50 a pint for any of the 4 ales they have on.
Occasionally they have an experimental loony juice of about 6% on sale, which means you can have a damned good evening for a tenner.
Micropub in the village is about £2.90 - £3.10, depending.

The prices vary markedly on were you go here in Sydney and want you drink. If you go to a RSL or local pub in happy hour, then you can get a schooner (425ml) for about $5, for VB or some other variety of watered down piss. If you want to drink something remotely decent, then your looking more in the region of $12. Actually I also know an Irish pub that sells pints of Guinness for $5, probably the cheapest that you'll find for a good tasting beer.

Here on the Costa del Sol many places are charging €1.50 for a pint

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.

My "in town" local is a Sam Smiths place, bottom of St Martins Lane in Covent Garden and a pint of cask is £2.95. My Yorkshire local (Halifax) charges three quid. Go figure.

Sam Smiths is about as cheap as they come, but I don't think central London in general is as expensive for drinks as a lot of people think.

I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but if I go to a West End show, I'll generally have a drink in town beforehand and one locally afterwards. The latter is usually more expensive. Of course, if I had one in the theatre at the interval that would be more expensive than both combined!

All depends where you go in my village.

Pub owned by Enterprise Inns, you're looking at nigh on £4 for a Stella/Guinness. Go to an independent pub or club and you are looking at £3-£3.20 for a Guinness (£2.50 during Saturday's happy hour). Quite a big difference!

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

My favorite drinking hole at the moment is the Cat at Enville. Its a great cozy little old country pub that does the best pint of Enville ale you can get for £3 a pint. Its nectar that goes down very nicely indeed. Food is nice there too. Well worth the trip.

I've been many times, my mate is the brewer of Enville ales based behind the pub!

Looks good this one, lads (bit scabby exterior on street view, but...) good spot for a run out on the bike from Cannock...

Live in Wolves and prices can vary from about £2.50 to double that, prices vary massively from pubs that are next door to each other!

Get out so little these days I rarely care but one thing that has crept up is glasses of wine are universally £6 at most places now which boils my piss as it is usually nothing special.

Going to see my folks on the East Coast for a few days, Spoons Hobgoblin is about £2.25 a pint, and Ruddles is about £1.60

Pub next door to the office in Cambridge is anywhere from £4 to £6 a pint.

Social club in the Village is £2.50 for fosters £3.20 for Stella and somwhere inbetween for bitter etc.

Village pub is £4/4.50 a pint although the dishwater that is Peroni is now £5.50

Bit of a thread revival...

Standard cask ale, <4%, is around £2.70-£2.80 a pint. There's a rough escalator based on +10p for every 05% increase in ABV, but if the beer's an expensive one, then it's based on a standard mark-up.

Keg beers vary according to price, and are charged based on a standard fixed percent mark-up. The most expensive we had on was £5 per 1/3. It was Mikkeller Black, a rare 18.7% Danish stout though, so not your usual CAMRA fare!

Hopefully you aren't drinking the dreadful Swiss-piss. Feldschlösschen, Eichhof etc. Chopfab blonde on the other hand is nectar, but only available on draft at Andorra I think

Try drinking at the international beer bar. They charge that kind of money for 0.3l because craft.


One of the best things about living in Zürich is that when you go to ski resorts and pretty much anywhere else in the world, the beer seems cheap. Even drinking craft beer in Oslo didn't register as significantly more expensive when I was there in January!
