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

Seriously, we’re all doomed. 😐

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

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

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

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.

gawdallmighty and the jesus and mary pains. I carried 2 farckin pints of crisps up to stolthemholme-on-the-water last night. Ind I had bad jyp in me back.

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

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

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… 🙂

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

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 !

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

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

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).

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 🙂

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.

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
