still decent value for what you get. most good quality bottled sour beer at 7% would be £4 for 330ml bottle which would be over £6 per pint. and thats from a bottle. draught is better

Yes. And? It’s 7%, imported and lurvvely.
But then I once paid 14 quid for a 300ml bottle in that shop

agree. 4.72 for a pint of 7% imported isnt too shabby. the nice 330ml bottles are knocking on 4 quid in a shop so £/ml its fair.
question: does the beer deteriorate somewhat using this method? extra step of handling and exposure to air.

Most of the sour, north west European styles actually do very well in bottles because there’s no massive hop flavour to deteriorate and they’ll improve with bottle conditioning.
The wild/spontaneously fermented ones or bretted beers can take years in a bottle. Some will go to shite but some will improve immeasurably.

As long as it's consumed quite quickly, shouldn't make any difference.

thats what i thought it might be wilfred. should be fine as long as its consumed pretty quick. for the highly carbonated stuff i presume the difference could be more pronounced?

If it's properly sealed and not too much headspace, there's nowhere for the CO2 to go. Would still lose some of it like.

Stopped going as much now. Growlers have jumped up from £6.70 to £8. Cans of Beavertown are the most expensive I've seen.

Tiny Rebel are ace. Clwb Tropicana is probably the best ‘tropical’ IPA by any UK Brewer.
Agreed. It's a belter. I'm a big big fan of Verdant as well, I haven't had a bad beer by them.

Their bar in Newport is class which is lucky coz the rest of Newport is a dive. Stay Puft is my favourite sweet stout, cracking beer.
Beaver town is usually cheap everywhere, fuck knows how people make much of profit on it at £2.50.

£8 is still very reasonable.

Bollocks. Practically driving beer that man.
I dont think he's grasped the fact that the price tends to follow the strength.
