If we want to restrict the thread to a £4 pint, yes I think it''s too much, especially lager which is like frozen gnat''s pee compared to real beer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Woah, that''s too much of a sweeping statement for me. There''s plenty of good lagers out there. (Admittedly not Carling, if they spent some time brewing a decent beer they wouldn''t have to tie clubs up with these contracts.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chesney Hawkes 0 Posted October 18, 2016 Too much hipster crud served up these days. The York Tavern is 4.50 a pint minimum and 5.20 for Peroni. Fairly sure this contributes to people drinking way more at home before going out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or well over £4 for a pint of Camden/Meantime. They''re good lagers, but they ain''t that good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
