Had a superb pint of Darkstar-apa in the Foresters on Monday £5.80
If but the Dark Star options had been available last Friday...Still, £5.80 is a lot for central London, so this price is the new Ealing comedy?Originally Posted by london calling
I paid £2.40 for a superb half of White Horse Trojan at the The Fox earlier on the same evening, but then I suppose the price would increase from W7 to W13, but not by that much.
Prices in the [Hackney] Cock, Wenlock, Queens Head [King's Cross] or Southampton are typically no more than £2.50 a half, sometimes surprisingly less and better still with a CAMRA card. A half of Anspach & Hobday's The Ordinary Bitter and a half of Three Acres Ruby Porter at the Old Fountain came to a total of £5.40 yesterday.
Fullers are charging >£5.60 and upwards for darkstar and guests.i usually ask for a Camra discount but forgot the other night.(seventh pint syndrome) but did ask for it in my next pub also . Fullers but they don't always do it in tenanted pubs So £5.80 for my eighth pint .Darkstar ,- xpresso which was decent.
A far more abstemious mini crawl of East and North London yesterday threw up these price comparisons; quality pubs, all four halves in excellent condition:
The Lord Tredegar - Thornbridge - Jaipur (5.9%) £2.75.
The Chesham Arms - Black Iris - Bajan Breakfast (4.0%) £2.40.
The Cock Tavern - Brass Castle - Hygge Figgy (5.7%) £2.79 (the customer next to me ordered a pint of Gadds' No. 5 (4.4%) £4.46).
The Lady Mildmay - Wood Green Hopping City - The Goodness (4.7%) £2.40.

All cheaper than I can get out in the sticks.Will report on the prices I find in London as I intend to go to the new Craft Beer Co pub in Paddington opening next Thursday.Usually get a free beer on their opening nights.
King Charles I
Two nights ago: Three Acres Best or Ruby Porter, £4.50 pint.
Last night:
The Old Coffee House
Brodie's Bethnal Green IPA, £2.80 a half.
The Lamb
Proper Job, £5.70.
Then the Kobayashi/Usual Suspects moment:
Like the Forester, also Fuller's pub but with Dark Star APA at £5.00 a pint here.
£5.80 at the Forester? I'd say you was 'ad mate.
Is the £5.00 in the Harp with or without Camra discount?

I think I was paying ~£4.40 last week, on production of the magic card...
More than acceptable in central London.

Certainly is, even without the card discount.
The Queens Head basic pint around the £4.20 mark and that's without a CAMRA discount.
