They come from Indianapolis, I couldn't see the name on the clip and thought they may have done a weak version for JDW as this was all I could find searching the web for the beer.

This place is selling bottles of the 7.4% Burning Sky Monolith at £17.50 a go. Alright, they are 750ml but it's still ridiculous. It's not all bad, the 7% Bad Seed India Pale Ale on cask here was £4.00, not cheap but not outrageous.
Marks and Spencer have some good beers. Usually £2.40 but they have 3 for £6.They also have 3 of them in a wooden box as a gift set £15. How much !!!
Birrificio del Ducota Italiano ,La Luna Rossa (a wild/sour keg beer) being sold here at £5 for a third. :eek:
I didn't partake.
The Walnut Tree is an unremarkable London suburban JDW and they are charging £4.15 a pint for keg Hop Stuff Renegade. I made my excuses and left.
I was reading todays reviews and there are about 100 pub reviews by trainman and when I got to one where he complained about a half of Doombar costing £1.55 a half in Putney I realised they were old reviews. 2008 price.
£4.90 for a pint of Bank's Sunbeam in The Rose yesterday.
Just done £3 for a (an?) half of Kernel Export India Porter (5.9%) at Stoke Newington's Jolly Butchers - no link as I'm still "live". I'll let you guess whether it was "K" or "C"...
As its London hard to tell on price alone but it being Kernal its a K.And it being one of my favourite beers I hope you liked it.cheers
Called for a swift half in here the other lunchtime. A guy came in and ordered three pints of Camden Hells for which he was quoted £15.30. I feared for a moment first aid might be required. Seems he just wanted three pints of lager (and one of those with a generous top) and that was the first pump he spotted.
Broke my record last night at Bristol's Famous Royal Navy Volunteer with a pint of Wild Beer's The Blend 2015 for the princely sum of £7.00 (I'd asked for a half, but cloth ears obviously didn't hear...)
Yesterday in the Punch and Judy in Covent Garden a pint and a half of Peroni set me back a jawdropping £9.35p. This is pub daylight robbery,at least Dick Turpin wore a mask
Reminds me of a particular dopiness in a Wetherspoon's the other day
Nick: Half of Old Nadger's Scrotum Bugler please.
Personage of an East European disposition starts pouring a pint of Old Nadger.
Nick: Hang on just a half.
Latvian: You said "I'll have a Old Nadger's Scrotum Bugler"
Nick: But I didn't and if I did I'd say "I'll have a pint of Old Nadger's Scrotum Bugler please" if I wanted a pint.
By which point your reserve of emotional energy is exhausted, the pint is accepted, and you feel stupidly grateful you've got a 50p Camra voucher to make up for the thirty minutes of life you'll never get back.
As a beer ticker and half pint drinker I use the international symbol of asking for a half holding my index finger and thumb about 2 inches apart.Rarely fails in loud pubs or with our European cousins in London pubs. Get in the habit. If this fails and you are not happy you can use 2 other fingers to show your displeasure.Equally understood by most staff

Had the opposite problem in the Hop Locker Waterloo.Got a pint of a beer from a new supposedly great brewer and half way done I was fed up with it.The server came from behind the bar picked up my glass and downed it thinking it was his beer.He apologised and I selected a new more expensive half as a replacement.nice one.
£7.35 yesterday for a pint and a half of Twickenham Naked Ladies in The Zetland Arms . Assuming the half is not weighted that's £4.90 a pint for a relatively local beer.
Last April I paid £5.35 for a pint of the ordinary in The Flask .
I appreciate that Witanhurst is opposite, London's largest house after Buckingham Palace and recently valued at £300 million, so perhaps this has rubbed off?
Greedy King for you. I bet they weight it for Taylor Walker branding too. Their 10% off for Camra members is worth having at that price, provided there's anyone behind the bar who knows how to key it into the till.
Beer Asylum
Four draft ales on, the cheapest was £5.20 a pint. Excessive for a micro, I feel.
According to What Pub it's all keg. If that is the case I wouldn't give it micropub status. Some micropubs do a few keg options but none of them don't do any cask at all. Depending on the strength and assuming it is "craft" keg then it might not be over the top but only in comparison to other places.
Their website says "four rotating Real ales" but the pictures there and on their Facebook page suggest a rather naughty use of the words real ale. They do manage to spell Draught correctly for the context.
Meanwhile back at the thread, I was shocked and stunned at having to pay £3.90 for a pint of Landlord in a fairly ordinary pub in a small Yorkshire town, going rate is £3.30 - £3.40 less in other places.
High prices are not just a London thing. 7 Brothers brewery tap in Manchester regularly charges high prices for cask.A friend who was in Madchester for the fest paid £5 for a 5.2 stout and £4.50 for a 3.8 session ale. Should change their name to 7 Robbers brewery.
Siren -broken dream 6.9 £4.90 at the Grovenor Hanwell
same beer £5.35 at Craft beer co Clerkenwell on sunday
same beer £4.20 Euston Tap 2 on sunday
cheers
I ordered 2 halves of keg beer in Charlottes Place w5 recently.Its a new bar/rest in Ealing.When the barman brought the first half of Buxton -rednik stout he noticed I was going to pay with old fashioned money.Cards only so the manager was summoned and after a lot of head scratching I was given the beer for free. The price was right for me although I was a bit embarrassed by all the kerfuffle.
Cards only eh? Did they have very prominent signage and did they warn you before anything touched your lips that they don't take cash?
I just don't understand this. I discovered last year that some of my cards had contactless payment on them. I used one to try it out at Shrewsbury Station for a day return to Newtown which was £5.00. Would I use one in a pub or anywhere else? No way! What's wrong with cash? The whole thing makes my blood boil!! Oh, and I don't have a phone that supports "Apps" and have no intention of getting one.
