    Default The price isn't right!

    Went into The Queens the other night and to my amazement, my pint of Hammerton's N1 cost £5.20!!!

    Bars/clubs aside, I've never paid more than £4.50 a pint, even in even pricier areas. Mad.

    You could have bought the same beer for £3.30 minus a 50p CAMRA discount a couple of weeks ago in The Baum

    And it had to travel up North via a distributer to get to us.

    I paid £2.50 for a half of fizzy crap in this pub Bumpkin i have not been to London since that pub crawl,the price of beer has put me off,i like doing Bradford has it is so cheap,Durham was more expensive than i thought it would be.
    If you live down South then it is probably hard to find cheap beer,i live in the East Midlands which is fairy cheap and have easy transport to West Yorkshire which is also cheap.
    We are all equal,but some are more equal than others

    I paid £5.25 for a pint of Weird Beard Black Perle (4.5%) at The Pilot Inn last month. Fullers and Youngs take the piss with their guest ales.

    It's actually "grin up North" we just tell Southerners it's "grim" so they don't come.

    I've been doing a bit of research into Sam Smiths (thinking of stocking a few lines in a new venture) and was amazed at their prices. The Stout is not a bad drop at £2.20. What was more amazing though is that I was reliably informed that in London their prices are pretty much the same as they are in Yorkshire. They must be the busiest dozen boozers in the capital!

    Sam Smiths certainly do own some iconic pubs in London but (and I may be generalising here ) I suspect London real ale drinkers feel that Sam Smith beers are cheap for a very good reason
