Cooking lager?
Discussion
I went out of the country for 5 weeks, in that time my local pub has whacked 30 pence on the price of a pint of normal cooking lager.
Kronenbourg is now £4.00 a pint.
This is not a London pub, or even a city, it is a country pub!
Does anyone pay more for a beer in a non-urban pub in the UK?
I am thinking about giving up grog as I am not rich enough to afford these prices any longer.

That is fairly pricey, thats for sure.
The problem is , is that Blair, Brown and the rest of the thieving Labour b
ds, burdened pubs with insane levels of tax and red tape. Hence the reason thousands have shut.
Sadly, as someone said..it ends up with drinking at home. I rarely go to the pub..but when I do, I near have a seizure at the prices.
To rub salt into the wound, the Westminster tax thieves enjoy a subsidised bar at the house of commons. No wonder Prescott is such a fat bd. All that taxpayer funded Ale. Still, need a drink when fiddling the expenses, eh?

It's all about competition, a country pub has none so can charge as it pleases? Go to a town/city and they're fighting to get your trade!!
Or could be a sign of the times, a country pub has to charge that to make ends meet?
If they're tied to a brewery then they probably do.Or could be a sign of the times, a country pub has to charge that to make ends meet?
It is a country pub in a small village of 2000 residents, there is one other pub. It is a touristy area and so the the management have little regard for the locals as they have so much passing trade.
It is shame that at this stage I appear to have been priced out of the local I have been using for the last 14 years.

This has always been my thoughts behind it, doesn't take the sting out of £3.80 a pint when the 'nice' pubs in town are £3.40-ish. Mind you, I know where I'd rather drink.Edited for idiocy

Arguably, this thread is fairly useless without locations.
Central Glasgow, local over the park is £3.20-£3.50 for brewed on the premises german beers.
Nice local in town is £3.50-£3.90 for the same.
Old man boozer round the corner is £2.90 for a pint of the usuals. All 3 let the dog in. Venue of choice depends on company.

In holborn im paying £4.80 for 2 pints of alpine lager, from one of Samuel Smiths pubs...
Its not about the prices its about knowing where to drink.

The local pub at my place (Ramsay) is 6.20 a pint for Peroni.
Peroni is one of the biggest marketing 'wins' of recent times.Go to Italy and you'll be hard pressed to find it. Over there, it's a sub-Carling type beer, only sold in bars populated with manual workers.
Marketing man realises it's unheard of over here, imports it and tells us that it's the most premium product we'll ever want to guzzle and that we should not only pay a premium price for it, but a premium even on that.
And it's bloody disgusting on draft too.
