Pub beer prices

Rotty · 7 Aug 2013 at 23:24

Around here prices have been dropping and dropping for the last 3 or 4 years, A while ago most places were well over £3 a pint, now around £2 is the norm for lager (obviously some nicer places are higher)

Is this something that is happening all over the country or just a local thing

About £2.80 for a Fosters up here. Bit less for a *gulp* Carlsberg.

Mutt · 7 Aug 2013 at 23:29

The price for a pint of lager seems to rise by around 10 to 20p per year here (the outskirts of Coventry). Right now it's £3 a pint.

Rotty · 7 Aug 2013 at 23:29

A lot of the time the £2 is Carlsberg round here

It's coming to something when the local Weatherspoons is about the most expensive for draught beer

Bloody hell. You're lucky to find a pint for less than £4 in London.

£2.30 to £4.00 a pint in Liverpool.

There's 5 pubs in my town, each of them has a different price for Fosters which ranges from £2.50 to £3.20. One of the pubs has a £1.99 pint which seems to vary month on month as to whether it's Carlsberg or Carling.

What could be the reason for that? I doubt it's a national trend though. With less and less people going to pubs you would think prices would rise.

(obviously some nicer places are higher)

I think your answer is here - apply this logic and it looks like the places you frequent are getting worse and worse
