Most Expensive Pint in a Normal Pub?

[Bradgate]

Landlord £4 per pint. Nice pub in Leicestershire village.

Bog-standard Hardy's Chardonnay £27 a bottle. Lord's test match last month.

[okgo]

Two in Surbiton that are a bit punchy -

Punk IPA - £6.50 a pint in The Antelope
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale £5.35 a pint in The Flyer

A pint is now between 4-5 wherever unless you're prepared to go to a Sam Smiths or Whetherspoons etc, some of which are alright, others not so much.

My local in Clapham:

Peroni = £5.60
Estrella = £4.95

[NRS]

Erdinger is around £9.60 here in the north,

My local (in UAE) is 30AED / £5.45 a pint.

..and that's cheap - mostly it's AED40 (£7.30) for a Stella nowadays.

Not UK, but for comparison - Local Beer is around 50p a pint, something like Stella or Budweiser Budvar around £1.10 a pint.

Ive only met one person from Maldova and his nickname is Dr Smirnoff...... you do the math!!!

Not if you ask the Italians.

Yep. It's got the same reputation as Carling here.

Menabrea, now that's proper Italian beer! Or Ichnusa

£7 for a pint of Innes & Gunn in the Ghillie Dhu at the west end of Princes Street in Edinburgh.

£3.90 for a pint of Edinburgh Castle at the Doric on market street outside the station.

Seems to be the going rate these days....

Scandalous...

I can get a pint of Guinness and shot of whatever the bourbon of the month is from the Black Bull for less than £6.

Or I can get a pint of Furstenburg and a vodka and coke for £6.80 in the Brass Monkey.

Teuchters Landing is one of my favourites... bit of a way out of town though.

Funny, I was just about to post about the Punk IPA in The Antelope. I am not sure why it is so expensive in there, I am sure I have paid less than £5 a pint for it elsewhere. It is really high when everything they have on cask (even the really strong ones) is £3.90.

It is also part of a small chain which is the only one I have come across to have a beer loyalty card which effectively takes the price down to £3.50. Not bad when prices in other pubs around there are averaging near £5 as you say.

Its not 'the' punk IPA by Brewdog, its another smaller brewery or something, I asked last time I was there.

Yeah, when good quality Vodka in the bar is about 45p for a 50ml shot, and about £2.40 a bottle in the store. Then, it's obvious why I love living here!

Strange. The one I had did have the Brewdog badge. I wonder if they charged me for the higher priced one and I didn't get it!

I actually find Surbiton is slightly more expensive than London a lot of the time for drinks. Go out a little further to The Bear or The Albert in Esher and it is worse still.

We went to the threatre last week. I bought two drinks in a pub in the centre of Covent Garden before we went in. On the way home, we stopped had a bought an identical round in Surbiton - for £2 more! How does that work?

I was in Uzbekistan for a very brief period and the prices were similar to quoted above, I have hazy memories of the place

£4.25 fo a Heineken in my local in Clapham and just under £5.50 for a Carlsberg here in Sweden, although it's 600ml and it's basically Export, not the watered down nonsense they sell most places in the UK.

[Composite Guru]

I paid £4.80 for a pint of peroni in a pub in Wavendon near MK last week. Overated lager IMO!!.

[captainzep]

Bought two pints of Peroni in a bar in the middle of Cardiff yesterday going for a drink with a colleague and was confused to see £1 change from a tenner, -but I don't get out much and that seems cheap compared to some beer purchased on here.

[Type R Tom]

One of my mates has a taste for Peroni at the moment, we say he needs to increase his contribution to the whip when he drinks it! I don't mind it but it's not worth what it costs (the increased attraction recently reminds me of the marketing campaigns of cider and ice) particularly as we are now getting more interesting lagers in bars when only a year or so ago it was the usual chemical rubbish

[AClownsPocket]

£4.49 for a pint in the Dickens Inn in St Katherine's Dock London.

In the Dickens Inn in Middlesbrough where I live, about £2.35.

Not going to that there London again

What I don't get is that Brewdog sell a pint of Punk IPA for £4.55 in their own bar in Leeds yet if you go to Wetherspoons it's £1.99 a pint. I appreciate Wetherspoons will buy a lot of it and perhaps it's the stuff that's about to go "off" but if the people who actually make it can't match that price what hope do we have?

And don't even get me started on the fashion for £5.00 for a 1/3 of a pint craft stuff.

Sorry I kind of went off topic there a bit.
