    My local ran out of 6x on Sunday, well to be precise the new barrel was still settling, so I opted for Guinness, £3.15, hope the 6x settles by my visit, over 3 squid is well beyond the locall "norm" at present

    Just paid 2.80 for HSB, and of course got Greene King IPA for 1.99 on Saturday

    But then I am in Pompey area and as the footie club is skint I guess the supporters are busy saving up to bail it out and have less to spend on beer

    I paid £4 for a pint of London Stout in The Beehive, Marylebone.

    Agree with the Guinness prices being hiked up as it’s not unusual to be charged £3.80 in town and Fullers seems to have it set at £3.60 at the moment although the flask in Hampstead is charging £3.80.

    I presume that this is the one in Crawford Street. If so, try the other Beehive a couple of roads away in Homer Street (a bit more like a proper pub than a French restaurant with its checked table cloths, and certainly cheaper).

    Yep, that’s the one. I struggled with one of the barmaids as my French isn’t great, but there was another barmaid that understood pointing!

    I’ll check Homer Street out next time I’m down that way.

    Cheers

    Not sure if it counts to nominate foreign pubs - but I was in the Cardinal in Stavanger a couple of weeks ago, and they were selling 33cl of Harveystoun "Ola Dubh" (40 aa) for - NOK 247.00 - that works out as £45.47 a pint! That's ridiculous even for Scandinavia where a pint of GK IPA (yes, really) will normally cost around £8.00 a pint.

    Most expensive I've had in England was Leffe at £5.50 a pint in the de Vere Hotel in Southampton. Serves me right for drinking lager, I guess, but there was no proper beer on. Not that they'd serve me a pint, because it was "too strong", so I had to buy 2 halves and pour them into a pint glass myself.
