Brewers who make beer you like, so horses for courses.
I would say that most people using station bars have either got half an hour to kill or are waiting for someone. That you get unexciting...
The Forester could help itself by spending some of its income on making a web site that works properly.

UK beer costs soar as average price of pint tops £8 in one London pub
"In one pub in London, which CGA did not name, the average price of a pint was £8.06 – the most expensive it has ever...
Did you try asking for nuts and were offered, in exchange for about three quid, a huge bowl of budget cash and carry nuts decanted from a sweetshop jar?
It is indeed a great walk, and a nice pub, but I'm glad it's not my local..
"Local ales on tap include Harvey’s Sussex Best bitter (£5.50 a pint) "
There's been nothing local about it since they shut the brewery 15 years ago.
£5.70 for Purity Session IPA here this afternoon. The alternative was Doom Bar at £4.15, some of us have standards, but why writing "craft" on the badge gets another thirty bob on the ticket price...
What annoys is that those who reserve a table on their heated terrace get full table service and glass glasses, the passing trade queue at a hatch to sit on picnic benches with plastic beakers. ...
Of the six of so pubs we've sat outside lately everywhere was more than £4 a pint. Fair enough if they've staffed up appropriately to provide efficient table service, I'm not so sympathetic if...
Depends how foramlised it is. You can't sell something for more than the ticket price, but there's no issue striking an informal bargain for less. If someone said "five pounds for cash" that would...
Discount for cash?
I said "I'd be perfectly content to pay £6 or more for a pint if I could enjoy it in comfort."
Clarification: Nick would rather pay extra to enjoy a drink in comfort rather than endure it in a...
I wonder, do you complain about pubs near sporting events because they're horrible, or do you complain because they put their prices up?
I must admit the former trumps the latter and I'd be...
Indeed, in 1981 the roster (from Real Ale In London) was:
Bateman - XB and XXXB
Brain's SA
Brakspears Bitter
Chudley - Bitter, Lords
Devenish - Bitter, Wessex Best
Everard - Beacon, Old...
You only care deeply about the price of beer if you spend a lot your income on beer. If you drink 40 pints a week price is going to be an issue even if you're on quite a good income. A pound a pint...
Out of interest, what's your view on the widespread practice of offering a double measure of spirits for, say, a quid more than a single? And wine by the glass is seldom pro-rata the bottle price. ...
Cask Beer: solving the problem of price

Were some of those £2.50 halves pro rata for a pint? The second nearest pub to me, 90 odd miles from London, charges £4 for pints and £2.50 for halves, a disparity which once upon a time would have...
I'm not sure what his point is, if he has one. If his punters won't pay for craft beer, there's obviously no reason why he should want to sell it. If the only thing his punters will drink is craft...
Not listed in my 1975 edition. As you say it moved on, in 1981 we have "six bitters and one mild always on handpump from a total range of about 50 different beers." I surprised they could, without...
Indeed a similar sized glass of cheap pub wine will cost you that so it seems fair enough.
I would add that out of laziness I use contactless far more than my conscience tells me to. The banks would love to get rid of cash. They don't get a rake off and it costs them to process it. But...
Not a London No 12 then, no cash taken for some time now.
