Lovely drink. I grew up in Banks's country but 3.90 is obscene for that strength.
You can buy 500ml bottles of it for £1.00 in any large Tesco. I'm assuming this wasn't in a Banks's house, please don't tell me that Banks's houses are being rebranded as Marston's!!
I would prefer Banks's Bitter and Mild to anything of similar ABV from the non Banks's Marston's stable.
£2.75 for most of the generally Marston's or W&Y related beers in my Bramwell pubco local, bookended by Courage Best at £1.99 and the inevitable London Pride topping the bill at £3.05. All remarkably good value, given that the Wifebeater brigade are quite happy to pay well over four quid for lager (this is filthy rich Surrey commuter belt)and that there is no real competition, only two other so-so pubs in walking distance.

Earlier this week I paid £4.10 for a pint of Hophead in the Mermaid in Rye. Stella was the same price.

Just back from a few days in London. £3.85 for an average pint of St Austell Tribute at the Oak & Pastor in N19 (and I mean average in the true sense of neither outstandingly good, nor horribly bad, just somewhere in the middle), followed by the same beer in very good condition at £3.50 in The Wrestlers in N6. Later I was drinking Woodforde's Wherry for just £3.20 at The Victoria just down the road. (Incidentally there's an excellent jazz band there on Wednesday evenings - the Swinging Garcons.)
Good to be back in Sheffield, where I can still get change out of £3.

A day of 2 halves in Melton Mowbray today.
Ann of Cleves - Both Castle Rock Elsie Mo and Everards Yakima were £3.60 a pint.
Grapes - Scottish Borders Willacade Broughton and Grays Traditional Mild. One was about £1.50 a pint and the other about £1.76. Too gobsmacked to write the prices down.
P.S. The mild at 3.8% was one of the best milds I have had.
