How much is a pint in your local

Usually 7 or 8 dollars, mind with buybacks you don't pay for all of them if you have 3 or 4.
 
Depends where you are, but they can't sustain charging £7 for Peroni (or similar) surely? People are just going to choose to drink at home instead.

I don't mind paying £5-6 for something I really like, a good quality Weissbier or something. But most pubs don't sell it anyway. So I can go to the pub with my mate and be charged £5 for Carling, or we sit at home in my garden and drink my favourite beverage at no more than £3.20 a go.

People might pay a premium while the novelty value is there (and if pubs are temporarily raising their prices to account for the fact they can't serve as many people then fair enough), but long term people are just going to go to the pub less aren't they?

I never thought I’d be paying £5.50 a pint and remember paying £3.50 for an Amstell on Os Road in Newcastle about 10 years ago, thinking it was extortionate compared to the 2.50 a pint I used to pay at home.

I have to say, over the past year I’ve got so used to picking up 3 Ales for £5 from the supermarket, the last couple of Fridays I’ve had no urge to nip down the local for 2-3 pints which I would have normally done after work.

I don’t know if I ever will as much again, and I doubt I’ll be the only one, and that is a potentially worrying trend for hospitality’s long term future.

Yep. £5.50 gets me 3 bottles of McEwans Champion or Henry Weston's from the garage in Saltburn, so it seems crazier than ever to pay that or more for a pint in a pub, people will stay away I reckon. Especially after getting used to not going. I enjoyed sitting in the garden with a few friends just as much as being in the pub with them.
 
Out for a few in Corbridge tomorrow with mates. Expecting to shell out a fair bit, Corbridge is a bit monied, I reckon.
 
if you believe your being taken for a ride over the price of alcohol in a public house - walk out and go to another one. (before you order of course) - it shouldnt matter if you can afford it or not.

i use 3 pubs - 1 local and 2 convenient when i'm in town - they all know me by name - prices range from £3.40 for a Hophead 3.8% session beer to £15 for special Imperial stouts ( 8 % - 12%) these are sold in 1/3 measures.

so it depends what you want, at what time of the day and what company your in.

i generally pay between £4.40 and £5.50 depending on what type of pint i want (cask/keg/lager/stout/can) and its % strength.

occasionally i pay more should a beer come in that i really enjoy, such as Easy Answers from the Burning Sky Brewery or a Woofers & Tweeters from the Cloak & Dagger brewery - but theyre not everyday drinks, or even every week drinks, perhaps once every 3 months - or if the boro win ! and theyre available.

drink safely - most of us have drank enough to sail a ship in, we have nowt to prove - and have a thought for those back home when you return. # UTB
 
Think I paid £4.60 for a pint of Moretti at The Ship in Saltburn on Sunday afternoon which I thought was reasonable.
 
"Why is Peroni so expensive ? Surely it's cheaper to brew than real ale...and on a par with other lagers ???"

Its horrible as well.
