It's not far off that in many places in Newcastle. Especially if your daft mates like a proper ale.7 quid a pint in central London will become the norm over the next 12-18 months I reckon. Costs are noticeably starting to rise now.
If you drink but dont smoke or gamble its doable very easilyCasual midweek pints for the majority are about finished. It’s going to be about 4 quid a pint in the shitty pubs soon.

There’s a display at Eden Project about brewing and the water and energy used is surprisingly high and not great for the environment. I’m guessing a brewery would need an enormous amount of solar panels or wind turbines to be self sustaining in regards to energy.As soon as the government support for commercial energy disappears prices will go thru the roof.
Paid £4.50 for a Guinness in Chaplins last week. Even in the current climate i thought that was quite toppy for a Guinness. Think its about £2.70 next door in the Cooper Rose.
Like most i'd rather spend in local businesses, but the disparity between what you pay in Wetherspoons and the supermarkets seems to be getting wider and wider.
Aye, I'm talking about the mass produced stuff here though, Peroni or whatever. When it comes to craft you're expecting to pay a premium.It's not far off that in many places in Newcastle. Especially if your daft mates like a proper ale.
I've said it loads now, the only levelling up we're doing is on the price of a fuckin' pint.Don’t recall the prices being too bad where we went round London Bridge on Saturday, I wasn’t taking a huge amount of notice when it was my turn to pay like but a quick look at me banking app shows rounds of 3 pints were coming out at approx the £17 mark so £5 odd each, but that included a couple of ‘fancy’ premium lagers like your Camdens, Brooklyn and another one that I can’t remember the name of so the bog standard ones were probably a bit less.
Backs up what I said on here a while ago that I feel like London’s beer prices have stagnated over the years while the rest of the country has caught up quite a bit because I can think of a few pubs in Sunderland and even Washington where the cost of 3 pints would be around about the same £17 mark, and there’ll be loads in Newcastle where that would be the case.
Places like Wetherspoons will just benefit even more. Still staggers me how cheap a round of sometimes up to 7 pints costs us in the Cooper Rose on a matchday compared to what it used to in Fitzies.
I'm with you on Neck Oil. Normal lager is at least £5 in majority of bars in NewcastleAye, I'm talking about the mass produced stuff here though, Peroni or whatever. When it comes to craft you're expecting to pay a premium.
The biggest price jump I've seen has been Neck Oil, it's comfortably up there at nearly 7 quid in many pubs around my office just south of the Southbank. It's garbage as well.
Cask is rising dramatically as well. Fullers are now charging about 6 quid for a pint of it in their central London bars.
Is that since Heineken (IIRC??) bought them out?Aye, I'm talking about the mass produced stuff here though, Peroni or whatever. When it comes to craft you're expecting to pay a premium.

Used to be almost double back in early 80sI've said it loads now, the only levelling up we're doing is on the price of a fuckin' pint.

I like Neck Oil like. Good session beer.

Dont mind Neck Oil TBF, and its my go to drink when I'm in the Prior, but even there its over £5 a pint and taking the piss for a local boozer in the north east.Aye, I'm talking about the mass produced stuff here though, Peroni or whatever. When it comes to craft you're expecting to pay a premium.

Heineken bought them out of the remaining 50% of shares late last year, but have owned half the company for a good few years now. The quality has reduced and the cost has gone up, though the cost of everything has gone up so not sure you could directly attribute it to that alone.Is that since Heineken (IIRC??) bought them out?

I wish I liked Neck Oil but it's outright bad these days imo, at least to my tastes. I am a fussy bassa when it comes to pale ales though.![]()
