Beer prices?

[Mick Dempsey]

The demise of pubs since I left the UK 20 years ago is tragic.

Are the two things linked? we cannot rule it out.

John smiths, Theakstons, carlsberg all 3.50 in my local club

£3-60 for a pint, in the local I prefer, 20p cheaper along the road where you get every man and his dog vaping so no go for me. The boss's G&T is just under a fiver, not the cheap gin neither.

Think I was about £18 last night for beer, wine and a couple of cans of coke.. last time I was in a 'spoons, the beer was a reasonable couple of ££.. which does make you wonder if they can do it why are the rest so much more.

 

However... 30 whatever years ago in the big market you could get a pint for 50p, made the £1 a pint taste reasonable.. but at the £1 a pint, double the price every 10 years for inflation? - 1 (0 years), 2 (10 years), 4 (20 years), £8 (30 years) a pint might actually be the going rate. We are just bitter and twisted (sorry, an intentional beer pun)

John Smith's last week in our local spoon s was £1.29 I was flabbergasted.

Are you sure? I remember a bottle of dog was 24 1/2p at the Punch Bowl in 76-77, sounds a bit low. My grandad said, but didn't follow through, that he wouldn't drink in the club if it went over a pound back in the mid 90's.....

When I started drinking in the club it was 97p for a pint of LCL. That would be about 1992/3.

It was also 97p for ten regal king size, a box of matches, and a pack of polos, back in 1989.
