It comes up from time to time but I thought I’d make a thread on it.

I nipped in the Admiralty on Trafalgar Sq last Saturday lunchtime for a swift one, expecting to get royally horsed for being in a) London, b) in a tourist hotspot, and c) generally daring to have a pint outside of my own home.
£6.50. I wasn’t even mad. I thought it was even cheap given the above factors, even if it was Amstel.
In my local though, £4.10 for a pint of best or something similar.
Offtopic: I ordered two large blonde lattes at the local Starbucks, and it was £10.10. it’s literally cheaper to go on the piss than drink average-but-decent coffee now.
A pint of lager is £5.60 in our local. A year ago it was £5.20.
my “local” is a tap room and mostly sells silly beers, I don’t think it’s pricing it a useful metric from pubs in general
We pay per foot
The international foot or the Imperial foot?
No. No centimeters for you
10 AUD if you can get a special, 15 AUD otherwise. And maybe you get the place that doesn’t do pints, only schooners but still charges pint prices for them.
£3.50
But that’s just a small town pub, pretty much everyone in there will be a local they don’t get a lot of tourists around here.
A few miles away, but in more touristy parts, you can easily pay over £5.
So the moral of the story is that you need to live in a boring back water like I do. Around here if somebody gets their roof retiled it’s practically in the local paper.
$8 USD
But the ABV is probably also twice what’s on the sign
That’s actually very accurate. My local Illinois brewery charges 7.50 USD for pretty much all their beers. Be it 4.5% or 7.5%.
I wish I could get some bitter for $4.
3.8%? Is that what they call beer over there?
For the bitters, yes.
