Now I know some will be saying 'Ugh, don't drink it, for peasants, only drink ale, etc', but how much do you pay for a pint where you are? I've just paid £4.40 for a pint of Stella. I think the last time I bought a pint in the pub, I paid something like £3.80. Have we just had a budget? Seems dear to me.

Carlsberg £2 is the cheapest you'll get.
I also work in a golf club bar, a pint of Fosters is £3.35, £3.80 for a Kronenberg.
Actually the bar at the bottom of the local Best Western hotel does tend to match Wetherspoons either on Fosters or Stella4.
Most other pubs it has risen to £2.85 and in the smarter pubs £3.20.
Dearest i've had around here is a pint of Tiger for about £3.85.
That's just in pubs at normal rates, not when they go into nightclub mode.

Yes I believe Sweden is even more expensive. I think I'll head for The Czech Republic.
Its the old supply and demand chestnut again.
If nobody paid it then prices would soon drop.
Baltika is a nice bottle. 5.5% and it's £2.45
Paid over four quid for a bog standard pint of lager in Brighton recently.
Wow - £4.40. So a night out at these prices would cost around £50 including cigarettes if you smoke and some money towards a taxi.
When I started going out to pubs in 1989 £15 was plenty. Pints could easily be found at £1.
£3.70 pint of Beck's Vier
£4 pint of Amstel
£5 pint of Peroni :eek:
I'm not sure if a pint and 20 **** have ever cost the same?
In the late eighties a pint was about a pound. Twenty **** were about 3-4 pounds I think.
Maybe someone who bought them in the 60s or 70s could say if it was different then.
We used to call them 'designer beers'.
In the 60s both a pint and 10 **** were less than 2 shillings (10p)
The bottles are nice though. Baltika as I said, and Tyskie and the like.
