I totally agree. ELB are doing 2 cases of 12x500l bottles for £55.00 with free delivery in the East London area.
The delivery driver knows me by name now!

You're right here. Tesco prices are now £1.70 for mostl bottles and multi=buys 4 for six quid.
I'm not prepared to go to London pubs other than JDW or two local ones which are still under four quid...

That's absolutely right. A year or two back I went to day 1 of a JDW "festival" and the woman behind the bar was trying to charge me 10p more than the displayed price. Neither of us were giving way...

I've had a rule for many years now for both TT and Batham's to only drink their beers in one of their tied houses. I've only very occasionally broken this rule. If the price of Landlord wasn't...

I meant to include that word but edited it in afterwards. Is it only me that can see the notice about the edit? I did include the reason to make it more obvious.

I've not been to a single London...

An average beer at a ridiculous price buy unsurprising with it being a Young's house. The demise of Young's is one of several reasons why most London pubs are complete rubbish but an important one.

I rather doubt that it has an abv to justify that price.

I once had a four pint glass but managed to shatter it with boiling water. I recently had an example of this in the Keg & Comfort micropub. I had a pint of St Austell Proper Job which was fine but...

I regularly see it in Spoons at £2.09 and I don't normally chose it there.. It's an old school cooking pale bitter that I reckon was originally based on Young's Ordinary. I won't drink beer in...

I agree with you completely on this but I think the point Nick is making refers to pubs being ruined by sporting events in the same way that pubs get ruined at Christmas. The Great Western isn't that...

I'm not surprised to hear that otherwise it would be difficult. I assume wines and spirits are taken off as well. Re Wembley it's well documented that the Spoons there does something similar. I don't...

That's ridiculous! Is it the William Webb Ellis or another one? I wonder if they changed all their other prices. If they still had any of their drinks menu cards (or other publicity) lying around you...

Fair enough but I wouldn't have gone to that price especially as I would have had a pint even if surreptitiously. I've not heard of the beer / brewery and wonder if it is a UK one and if it was keg....

I had a pint of keg Blue Monkey Chimperial Stout for the same price in the Loughborough Organ Grinder yesterday. It's 8.5% and considering thy charge £3.20 for BG Sips is very good value. It was my...

I've got a few days in Glasgow lined up for May. I've an old friend who lives in Perth and their aren't many worthwhile places to go. He gets 10% discount in Brewdog bars. He's completely boycotting...

I think it's £3.49 in most JDWs although I'm not sure. I may visit my first Brewdog bar this year and hopefully my last. It's in Perth.

The JDW Burns Night offering includes a "free" pint of Punk IPA with the haggis option. The Haggis Neeps & Tatties I had tonight had a really stingy amount of Haggis but the Smash and the microwaved...

I saw your review of the Ledger Building. You're absolutely right about the "freshly made" pizzas. They are only freshly made in that they are constructed from a base like you might buy in Tesco....

It certainly was Watney's Special. I too was an uncivil servant in Holborn back in the mid 1970s. Soon after the Sun in Lambs Conduit Street had opened with two Brakspear, two Young's and two Greene...

You're wrong there, it would have been two shillings in 1969! In the same year that was the cheapest pint I ever had and it was Greenall's at the Swallow Falls Hotel. It was cheaper than the keg...

I've no idea as I've never seen any of their kegs before. One of the pubs I went to did Great Orme Snowdon Lager at £3.10 as opposed to £3.00 for their cask offerings which were all English.

I'm not sure about that, the hipster types don't seem to care what the price is. I think there is also the "reassuringly expensive" angle as used by wife beater some years ago and which Guinness have...

Purple Moose are more old school than crafty but their pub the Australia in Porthmadog has three of their beers on keg to supplement the five cask ones. The three cask beers I tried were £3.25 twice...

As I only drink pints I really couldn't care less what a half costs but given the situation with wine and spirits mentioned above I don't see how half pint drinkers have any right to complain. What...

How annoying that the Daily Mirror uses the US spelling of draught. In Newcastle Under Lyme the owner of the Hopwater Cellar was showing me some spirit strength beers produced by freezing rather than...
