[Closed] £3.55

Cask ales £1.80 a pint on colne high street

Referring to any sort of alcoholic beverage as "wife beater" is blatantly downplaying and making light of the very serious problem of domestic abuse caused by the over-indulgence of alcohol in this country.

I should report you to the mods!!!

Cask ales £1.80 a pint on colne high street

You can get more than a pint of cask ale on colne high street for £1.80 8)

Someone attempted to charge me over £4 for a Hoegaarden last week,
IN NORTH WALES.

Seriously, we're all doomed. 😐

I'm getting quite a taste for girlfriend beater too

The £4 for cooking lager barrier was passed some time ago in GOD's own city.

GOD's own city.

Bristol ? WTF.

Geoffj I think you'll find that's called boyfriend-beater?

phew.. worked on a checkout all day. thought it was some sort of price challenge or something.

No. Those 2 pies didn't come to 3 pound for two, that was last weeks deal. no. sorry blah blah blah. They are 1.80 EACH, be nice be nice be nice..! gah!

4.10 for a pint of Stella in Castle View in Deganwy, Conwy.

They'd need to pay me far more than that to drink that shit.

The cost of living in a coma has definately gone up...

They'd need to pay me far more than that to drink that shit.

I wOuld normally agree, but the Station Hotel in Oxenholme gets it just right. Ice cold, tarty glasses, buxom barmaids, bloody irresistible. And since adopting scotchland as my motherland, appreciation of real beer is wasted anyway*

*with the possible exception of inveralmond brewery stuff 8)

£8 for 2 pints of Carling and a pint of Wychewood Scarecrow , not too long ago, at the Bull Inn , Shrewsbury .

Cask ales £1.80 a pint on colne high street

Yeah, but it's a bastard steep hill to get there in the first place. Last time I was drinking in Colne, my opening gambit was two pints; it took him longer to pull the second than it did for me to drink the first.

Alright then. What is the correct price for a pint?

I happen to be running a beer festival as part of the Big Bike Bash and am going to be printing the beer menus this weekend.

Please vote

a) £2,50
b) £3.00
c) £3.50

Also thinking of doing a token system so if we choose the £3 price you can buy 4 tokens for £10 or something like that.

Suggestions welcome

hmmmm...

a) 2.50 without doubt sir, is it a trick question?

as everyone at the bbb is a southerner, I think you'd get away with £3.50 without issue. It's rare to get much change from £4 a pint in brighton

Hmm.

£1.00 a pint?

WHY BLOODY NOT????

Not really much help to you, but I would guess from my recent pubs, that £3 would be pushing it, but I bet a lot of folks from "down south" would be glad to pay that.
😉 Not wishing to push the north/south divide... 🙂

BBB - at a beer festival, one drinks halves in order to sample twice as many brews. I'd suggest either £2 or £3 a pint to make for easy maths and happy punters. Four quid is resentment territory.

On a token system you should require two tokens for a pint. Perhaps £1.50 each or 8 for a tenner would be a plan? Ie, three quid for a pint or £2.50 if you buy bulk.

Cougar - This is a beer festival at a music festival at a bike festival. Trust me, they were drinking pints

The honest reason for the push from £2.50 to £3.00 is the change. It makes the float really difficult.

we were thinking that if we made the tokens work out at £2.50 but you had to buy 4 at a time and then made beer £3 we would make the tills easy.

How much for wine and cider ?

Cider same as beer I assume and same for wine as long as we only do big glasses

Cider the same as beer.

Wine, a fiver a glass, minimum. Who the geoff drinks wine at a beer festival? Offset the bumming on wine with dirt cheap soft drinks for the poor sod who's driving.

we got rushed 45 quid for a round of 5 drinks in alkmaar in holland .... was nearly sick ... then i was sick about an hour later out side the bar - since i dont drink much of anything ever hardly .... lime and soda it is !

more than 2-2.50 a pint, on my wages? I'd be sneaking it in. so then you're looking at security and people to bounce out people like me. no way i'd pay more than 2.50 for something I've paid for already that I'm not even sure if it's gonna be good? make it inclusive, not exclusive. ordinary bods on bikes can't afford to pay entrance AND 3.00 - 3.50 a pint.

Keveves - We have cans of Tanglefoot for taking back to the tents.

we also have a dozen bottes of Moet et Chandon up for prizes so you never know

I can't even make it anyway 🙁 hope it is a great one!

Kev - MTFU- Of course you can make it. Name these reasons you cant

ordinary bods on bikes can't afford to pay entrance AND 3.00 - 3.50 a pint.

Some of those attending will be riding bikes costing[i] a thousand times[/i] what a pint will cost.

They will still moan at the cost of a pint though. That's what mtbers do...

 

Someone in a bar in the US tried to sell me "a delicious Belgian lager-style beer" for $9 a pint once. Couldn't understand why I didn't want to pay $9 for a pint of Stella though (mind you, I wouldn't have had it for free either).

Brighton has gone mad, I was charged £5.05 for a pint of guiness. I was more outraged that they felt £5 wasn't enough and had to add on an extra 5p!!! Didn't even taste that great.

In our local pubs it generally costs about £2.50 for a decent cask ale.
I had been thinking that that was getting shockingly expensive; not so long since that ale was way under £2 a pint. It does seem to have rocketed in the last few years.

This has given me the taste for a beer now 🙂

People complaining about the price of life's little necessities shocker. 😯

Where was that?

Where was that

Wife went to a wedding at the Deer Park in Calderdale last weekend
Pint of san miguel was £4.50, glass of wine was £5.50 courtesy of Berties in Elland, robbing tw..ts.
Alternatavely a pint of Pure Brew at the Colliers arms (Elland wood bottom) after our weds night rides is £2.48, proper bargain
had to share that

BEer price acceptability will depend on where the drinker lives.

I:D in for £3, anything higher may cause resentment

£4.85 for Carling (or some other shite) at Butlins the other w'end. Not me that was there I hasten to add. I made a pledge to go a year with no beer on new years eve, & have managed to stay true .(so far). Been a few close calls though. 🙂

Costs as much to not drink though, a gastro-pub wanted to charge me £2.60 for a pint of soda & lime cordial the other week.

Milton Brewery, just outside Cambridge, will sell you 36 pints for £54 (taxed).

i.e. £1.50 per pint.

This story should please many forum members then...

http://www.****/news/article-2022772/Cost-pint-set-drop-50p-weaker-too.html

...for me its not the strength of the beer that makes me buy it, and if this legislation helps brewers concentrate on taste rather than strength then to me thats a bonus. Cheaper beer and just as tasty (hopefully!).

Try living in Singapore... After living here for 6 months I now consider £5 a pint as a bargain! £7 a pint is common in bars & pubs.

Oyster Bar in Manchester, 3 pints and you'll get change from a fiver.

A mate, went into a bar near the locks and asked for two pints of peroni... £9! and they charged him for paying on his card too! Robbing basids.

My local Sam Smiths is £1.98 for a pint of lager.

Cost me £3.20 for a pint of Guinness in Cambridge yesterday, which I thought was cheap for the location.

Interesting stuff mind.....

£3.85 for a pint of Budvar in the Parkview Brighton yesterday.

Oh yes, the Sunday afternoon BBB beertent sale

Happy Daze 😀

£3.20 for a small half in my local, but it has other attractions...

Milton Brewery, just outside Cambridge, will sell you 36 pints for £54

That's one hell of a big glass!

I don't drink beer when going out for meals anymore...£5ish for effectively 1/2 a pint.

I can't bring myself to spend that much.

99p for a pint of real ale in my local, he's been doing it for about the last six months. Imagine it, pissed on a fiver, well I am anyway.

£4.10 for a pint of Peroni in All Bar One in Manchester.

'kin ridiculous.

And what's with franchise restaurants charging £5 for a 500ml bottle of lager?

At least Dick Turpin showed you his flintlock.

The more expensive the beer, the shiter the place, in my experience.

Well, it might be up in whatever Godforsaken dump you live in, but down here in That London's Famous London, you may very well have to pay a premium for good beer in a nice pub.

One of my all time favourite beers of all time mate:

Is [i]five pounds thirty[/i] a pint in The Union or Old Brewery in Greenwich. Northerners may well swear at the price of such a fine ale, but then, they are mainly used to drinking muddy festering ditchwater the poor things. 🙁

WCA, what is used to paying silly money in spensive bars around the World, was quite stunned by the [i]five pounds fifty[/i] we were charged per pint of this loveliness in Brew Wharf, Borough Market:

[img] [/img]

Mmm...

I dunno though; I don't mind paying a bit for a decent pint of proper top-grade beer, as you're drinking it for it's loveliness, not to get hammered. For me, a nice evening involves 3-4 pints of really nice beer in a really nice pub. I could just as easily drink bilge in a crap pub too if I wanted to, but tbh these days, there's not a great deal of difference in what you'll spend. I woon't be spending £4 on a pint of Stella or similar crap though. I'd rather go without.

Yeah, four or five quid or more a pint is ridiculous. But then again, how many folk on here will willingly pay silly money to eat at a Heston Poncenthal or Rick Stein restaurant? Hmm?

I notice the price of a pint anywhere has rocketed steeply since the Tories came into power....

I reckon £2.50 a pint or 5 beer tokens for a tenner should be alright for the Big Bike Bash. The token will be for a pint of beer, cider, lager or a glass of wine.

Was in Norway last week, Bergen to be precise, 0.4L of local Noggie piss £8.50 and it is vile, it's called Hansa so if you are ever in Bergen best avoided. Then went to a club later and they were skinning you £10.50 for a bottle of Corona, still didn't stop us getting pissed up though.

MMMmmm

We're paying nearly R20 (£1.70) for a pint of draught Amstel now in SA

I'll be drinking Doom Bar or Betty Stoggs in a little while at £2.85/pint. I'd rather it was £2.50, mind.

BBB beer list all available at £2.50 a pint!

2x9 from Irving & Co Portsmouth
2x9 from Cheriton Brewhouse
2x9 from FFF , Alton
2x9 from Isle of Purbeck
4 x 9 From IVB ( 2 Gold , 2 a n other )

The North Bar in Leeds other Friday 2 pints of american guest beers and 2 halfs of Oyster Stout £16 !!

I was at a happy hour the other day. Two hours, actually.

Price? Free. Yep, free. Two hours of free booze. Nice.

Plassey Dragons Breath £2.25 a pint, lovely malty pint and 6%. Over £3 for a pint of piss really is taking it.

Looks like I'll be staying sober when I'm down in Loondon for the Olympics.

At the BBB last year we had a similar happy hour on the Sunday afternoon. Beer on request and there was a box on the bar for you to put any donations.

2 pint and 4 pint plastic containers will also be available in the beer tent . This is for those who would like to drink some decent beer back at your tent , or take some home with you on Sunday.

it was that price in Cornwall about 5 years ago....
