Yes. I had three halves in the Southampton the other night, varying strengths up to a point and they were all £2.21.
Railway Tavern the other night too and Adnam's Mosaic is £4.20 a pint and all Five Points beers are £4.30 a pint, though the selection is down on what we experienced in 2017.
The Wenlock is expensive though. Three halves the other night and they were all £2.50, which is a lot for an alehouse.
Had 3 beers for £2.20 ish in Southampton arms
£2.15 in pineapple camra discount
£2.20 in tapping the admiral camra disc
£2.25 in the express camra discount.
You can find cheaper beer around in certain areas.
This is because their pricing policy involves a calculation based on abv - see my recent review: Southampton Arms
or to save you clicking, and for future reference (as if ;) ) "...the new (or new to me) pricing scheme. Whereas they used to charge a standard price for everything, that now only applies up to 4.4% abv and is £4.42 for cask (£4.97 for keg). Above that the price is determined by a formula: abv % x 96p (or £1.13 for keg). So my half of Howling Hops 5.5% was 48p x 5.5 = £2.64. Added to my half of the Elusive Microball Mild 3.7% for £2.21, my total was £4.85. (One anomaly is that a 4.5% beer comes to £4.32 for a pint, so is cheaper than one at 4.4%!) "
Yes. £1.70 a half for Redemption's Trinity a couple of nights ago in The Queens Head, though quite a weak beer. A month ago I paid a reasonable £2.25 for a half of Fyne Ales Yarl at The White Horse shortly after paying £2.30 for a half of Fosters at The Queen Elizabeth.
Yes. I had a hunch this might be the case; I'd had something a couple of weeks earlier which was quite strong and the price had really shot up from my previous drinks.
Did see that formula listed but too complicated .Was a bit surprised with £4.42 for 2 half's.
Also I meant that the beers were cheap compared with other areas.
The Antelope - not a strong beer, but Volden Session the other night at £3.30 a pint and only 10p more than Moby's visit over four years earlier.
