    Default Is there a lager shortage?

    I'm in a JDW and the Stella is £3.78 a pint. Heineken is an incredible £3.89. In a Wetherspoons. Has Cameron just announced that the draymen are threatening to strike ??

    Ive noticed even the guest Ales in the spoons are now £2.65. £2.90 & £3.20 depending on strength & brewery. For instance Fullers ESB was £3.20 in the spoons.

    Price survey Wetherspoons in Yorkshire last night

    Carlsberg £1.99
    Tuborg £2.79
    Fosters £2.89
    1664 £2.99
    Carling £2.99
    Amstel £3.10
    Stella £3.25
    Heinekin £3.35

    Most of the staff were wearing "Carlsberg - The New Deal - £1.99" emblazoned tee shirts.

    Ruddles was £1.99, didn't note the Abbott and the other beers were still festival ones at £2.20 including the splendid APA.

    I guess Spoons isn't the bargain that it once was, at least for lager drinkers. Nice to see they are still keeping the ale prices competitive. You're lucky in still finding festival ales, they disappeared from most Spoons around here as soon as the festival finished.

    Last year the brewers of Wifebeater said that they wanted to regain its lost image as reassuringly expensive. Perhaps Spoons are their first target?

    I spoke too soon, just found one with the coffee porter which is ideal for this early hour. They also have the APA and i agree its very nice
