Is there something special about this that commands such a ridiculous price?
Does it come with an RRP from Wylam, or are pubs jut taking the piss?

@I'm Spartacus paid £5 in the Crown Posada last week and @Patch tells me its £5.50 in the Dun Cow.

I know it's £6.3%, but so are other normal priced ales. Must be brewed with mermaid's tears or something.
 


quite a bit more duty due on 6.3% plus a longer brewing period.

most normal priced ales are no wehere near that strength

most ales are in the 3.6-4.8% bracket

All ill say is its worth every single penny mate. If IPA is your thing which its is mine, they dont come much better. Drinking this stuff is about having a few QUALITY ales, not just hoying them down ya neck to get pissed but about the quality of taste, actually enjoying your drink.

That's a bargain compared to that pint of ale I ordered for £5.50 (not noticing that was price per half) :D

I rarely drink ales less than 5% (in the harbour view etc) and I've never noticed them costing anywhere north of £4. Wouldn't pay that much anyway. Most seem to be around £3.50. It can't just be based on ABV (unless cider has different rules), as Old Rosie is 7.3% and 3.50 in the bell.

That was an expensive half, showy off tit.

I enjoy the drink. I just don't bother drinking unless it's to get pissed, so I'm not generally popping out for a couple.

cider has less duty as it used to be the farmers peasant drink
 
Paid £5.50 in Wylam brewery last Saturday- the same for Hickey the rake, which is better imho.
Aye, it's a pisstake, same with beavertown £4.50 for 33ml can for what essentially is the sane basic ingredients.

I'd want it in a glass for £4.50..

Do you swill it out of the can or pour it into a glass?
