It finally happened

[Centralscrutinizer]

I went into a pub in Saltburn last night and the pint I ordered cost £5.00.
The shocking thing is that I wasn't shocked

It's £4.20 for a Camden's Hell Lager in my new local! I remember paying £1 a pint 20 years ago in a Working Men's Club!

I suppose somebody's got to replenish their profits after lockdown, and guess who will be doing it?

Most of the boozers in Yarm are now begrudgingly pubs as they dont wantyou in there certainly through the day .
They're now all disposed to the purple rinse brigade wanting coffee and snacks .
You want a pint , you have to go and stand out the way until somebody finds time to serve you and then " kindly get out of the way " oh after they've yanked your eyes out so you dont bother them again .

There are a collection of £6-8 CANS available in my local. I get it, it’s craft, artisanal. But Jesus.

Ouch!
What was it and was it any good?

If it was York that would be a lime and soda !

Do well to find a pint of premium lager in Hartburn, Stockton for less than a fiver, been like that since the easing of restrictions.

I think I've lived in London too long. I saw the price and thought "not bad"

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

My slightly embarrassed answer to that is - I don't know what it was It was just the next one along the taps from the pint I'd just had. I remember that one Motorhead - Roadcrew.
Both were nice

I paid 25p for my first pint - I always said I would stop drinking if it ever reached £1 a pint.

13p in the Linny

13p in the Linny

wow - what year was that? I remember 35p - 79ish in there

i'm regularly told by bar staff and landlords, that its the brewers who are jackin'up the prices - it may well be true, i dont know. i dont see the invoices.

however 2 pubs i use not 500 yards apart both sell a beer (amongst a selection of 10-15 choices) thats the same name, by the same brewer, its got the same %alc strength - its the same ale - yet in one place its £4.60 and in t'other its £5.80.

this may reflect different rent agreements, different staff rates of pay, number of staff etc etc - i do understand that and take it into account - however to me it means £20 for 4pints with change, or more than £20 with no change - i'm comfortable with 1 but not the other.

and ultimately, thats my choice, neither of em force me to buy & drink it

I know which of those 2 pubs I'd be in

13p in the Linny

I think we paid £1.40 for a pint in the Linny in 1991 when we first started going in.
Ars.eholed drunk, chip butty splash from the village and home all for less that a tenner

Someone on Saturday was telling me they'd paid £11.50 for 2 pints of something obscure in Stockton recently, I think in the Hope & Union it's called

 

[Huddboro]

Our place gets 88 pint barrels in for £113 of different lagers; the problem is that breweries make a fortune selling to pubs that are usually tied in. We charge £3.10 for example a pint of San Miguel.

 

[Alexander Supertramp]

A pint and a (large) glass of white wine was £13 (thirteen pounds) in Runswick Bay last week

 

[pontyandy]

I worked in the Roseberry in the mid 70's it was 13.5p per pint.My hourly rate? Yes you guessed it 13.5p.
