Now if you'd gone to the Cramond Inn you could have had a pint of dark mild for £1.50 and their other beers for not much more

In my experience All Bar Ones seem to be populated by complete and utter strokers. You can hardly blame the management for picking up on this,and fleecing them accordingly. A sort of bell end tax, if you like.

Cheap as chips for a pint, comparatively, in our neck of the woods. But Manchester City Cenrtre prices are now completely bonkers. A tenner for 2 pints of Perroni is pretty standard now apparently. And last week a new record: 2 pints of Poncey Asahi (its all they had) and 2 glasses of (house) wine. No change out of 30 quid!!! 😯

All real ales (normally a choice of 6) at £2.50. Occasionally there's some extravagant one's on for not much more. Guess where all my dog walks finish? 😀

@ bazookajoe Ahh the Crammond Inn - Good cheep beer, nice location, decent pub. It's bordering on perfect!

Edit - Whiski bar/rooms on The Mound has Innis & Gunn for £7.80 per pint - yes SEVEN! I told the onwner he shoudl just have charged £8.

I'll pay £3.50 or more for something from Fullets ... It's gorgeous and is a local London brewery. I do pity those drinking the 'premium largers' Stella etc. They pay more for that.

The last time I went into a Allbarone was 2004. Even then I thought it was full of people who wear Burtons formal wear clothes and shop on credit cards.

£2.52 for the last pint I bought, because that's all the change I had in my pocket and the landlady seemed keen on having that rather than having to give me change for a note if I'd paid full price.

The good 'traditional' ale pubs in the city center (Leeds) seem to be around £3.20 - 3.50 for a decent pint of cask ale at the moment.

Fancy hipster places like Brewbog and North Bar can be £5+ for the top end stuff.

Sam Smiths pubs do their own brand bitter for £1.80 which has an amazing taste to value rating.

I work in Lahndahn so I'm well used to paying north of £4.50 a pint, a fiver for something decent at The Harp or wherever.

Way back in 1990, I recall spending a then outrageous £1.29 for a pint of Tetleys at my local in Essex...daylight robbery I tell thee.

Is it wrong that I have not even the slightest clue how much a pint is round these parts? Do all my drinking at home because there is always far better scrumpy in than any drinking establishment locally.

I'm conflicted, here in Shiney Town you'll get 2 pints of middling brown puddle in a glass for £6.00 a pint, which is total daylight robbery. I know I work in the land of Fleecethemall, but hey c'mon!
Then if you walk not 15mins to a cracker of a Pub on the River overlooking the Dome you'll get fine fine ale for £5.00 a pint, then if you cross the river and head to Greenwich a pint of Meantime will knock you back £3.40/3.60.
Then if I go home to Hampshire I can get solid proper ale brewed by the creator of all things drikable in Dundridge for £3.20/3.50

Has to be said (I've done it on many occasions) I prefer drinking at home.

It's probably tradition, or an old charter, or something.

Current favourite Citra from Hopback pub round the corner £2.90 a pint. And I can't afford much of that very often! Makes me glad I a) like red wine and b) discovered Lidl Italian red at £3.70 a bottle

until the advent of magners and all that other fizzy pish that jumped on the wagon a pint of cider used to be the cheapest pint in the pub. can't believe how you've been brainwashed to think £3.70 for a pint of 'old soiler' is cheap 😯

At the pub in Peaslake in Surrey Hills as I walked out of the front door I said 'fukin ell £4.20 for a pint of ale'

Two locals sat outside laughed abit over that 😆

I wonder why the place went bust?!

Pound pubs seem to be opening around the place so I read. Not convinced I'd like the ales on offer but the non discerning youngsters will be all over this.

About £3.20 a pint of something half decent in Milton Keynes these days

£5 a pint for peroni in the golden cock near Huddersfield.

2 meals for £10.99 though so overall ok if you go for a meal (food is actually really good)

£4 a [u][b]can[/u][/b] for asahi in the roxy ball room in Leeds smarts a bit though....

Guildford £4.50
Central London £5.00 - £6.00

@hora the place went bust as its a rubbish hotel/pub combo and there are many better places. They have to charge that due to cost of rent/rates.

@tom Imcannot see the justification of £5 a pint in Huddersfield, they cannot blame the rent cost for that.

Enjoying the country prices after Edinburgh. £1.70 for a reasonable Deuchars IPA. Thing this town is missing is a real ale pub with good food.

Four pounds for a pint? Jesus, you could buy a coffee for that 😆

@jambalaya, the justification is the patrons of the pub are willing to pay it (there are frequently range rovers/rollers/astons in the car park.)

45 Czech crowns or £1.33 for a half litre of Plsner Urquell at the office local. That's right in the centre of town though, so a bit pricy. 30CzK (90p) for the an unpasteurised lager at my weekend haunt.

(Feels slightly smug).

Do miss a decent pint of bitter sometimes though.

We even throw in music and riding!!!

I bought 2 drinks- I think a stella and a jd and coke- in the brixton academy, handed over a tenner... Just could not understand why I was being asked for more, it didn't compute at all. Eventually the barmaid took pity on me and let me off with the rest 😆

So these days, I stick to crack when in London, it's cheaper

My local $5us for a pint. Elsewhere in town $4 or $4.50 for a 12. An extra buck for an extra 4oz is alright.

This evening - whilst enjoying the fabulous Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - I visited a live music venue with some decent beer on tap for a change. £3.70 for a pint of Joker IPA may not be cheap, but it was the first time in a while I have been able to see a good band without having to suffer dreadful overpriced beer at the same time.

I can cope with good overpriced beer, just not pish overpriced beer 🙂

Not a pint, but while pissed about a month ago I bought a 500ml bottle of some artisanal IPA for £18.95. Not proud, but was served by a pretty girl.

Golden Cock- mrshora merely said her food wasnt hot. The cook came out and had a go. I was laughing so much (I shouldnt) - he should simply have put his hand on the dish and said 'ah agree'. The 'posh' bar off St Georges Sq charged me near on 4 for a redstripe. They gave me the can, no glass.

What Hudds does best is warm, friendly and beautiful pubs. When they try to be posh it becomes awkward/wrong/new money?

£3.30 for a pint of Marstons New World in our village pub after last nights ride, which made me fell better when I stumbled across the beer garden and spilt half. 😳

Having the mud brushed off my shins by a waggy tailed Labrador was included in the price.

Bought a round at the airport other week 3 pints 1 wine I was happy to get change from a 20, bloke I was with thought I was barking, clarified sayign anywhere other than the airport I'd have been well pissed off.

£3-4 for draft cider around here depending on how s****y the place aims to be, bottled cider can be daft money tho.

Why is ale always so cheap compared to cider/lager? Presumably lager sells most volume so should be cheaper....?

Weeeeeellll, it was explained to me as a process of two vats, one with the skin of the grape in, and fermented, the other the skins taken off, and fermented. Then they mix the two together and add the skin back in and then some orange peel, though not a great deal. It's then fermented in a large oak vat.
It's white wine, it's okay, bit of an acquired taste, but I'd not buy it again. To me, it tasted like cider and I'm not a fan of cider at all..
Oh well... The guys I was with liked it, specially as I was paying for it! 😆
