A half of Sharp's Doom Bar in The Dovecote in Minster Lovell, near Witney (in essence an Indian restaurant with a functioning bar), was a staggering £2.75 a half. I enquired how much a pint was to be told £4.50. Got to be the biggest disparity between half-pint and pint pricing I've ever come across...

http://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/D...-a-pint-uproarThere I was in The Rake ,admiring their new colourful screen listing the beer selection,when I notice keg Cloudwater NW DIPA 9% listed at £6.70 a half ,or £13.40 a pint.
It maybe an Imperial IPA but at that price I didn't partake.

In Manchester yesterday, a round of three pints of mild came to £12.15 here, a Nicholsons pub. The next pub visited was this one, where four halves came to £9.80. Two of them were Marble Piwakawaka 6.2% which was priced at £3.80 for 2/3rds, or £5.70 a pint, so the other two halves were around £4 a pint on average. Fortunately the day's other pubs were more normal, with most rounds of four halves coming in at around £7.20 to £7.60. One of my drinking companions, who usually complains about the prices in the Sheffield Tap, commented over a final half that it was quite reasonable in there, really!

Comes as no surprise to me.
