That's quite a steep hike but as you say, still great value for money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

In other words ,it brewed Charringtons Toby bitter then.😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

And in the UK Quote The alcohol affordability index shows that alcohol was 60% more affordable in 2015 than 1980, and that affordability rose by 36% between 2005 and 2015. It also shows that having declined between 2007 and 2013 in the wake of the recession and rising alcohol taxes, affordability has begun to rise again From https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/statistics-on-alcohol/2018/part-7 Edited May 29, 2019 by Cyclone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch 213 #31 Posted May 29, 2019 My friend runs the excellent Peerless Brewery. He opens the brewery tap room the last Friday and Saturday of every month. It used to be £2 a pint, but now £2.50, but that price will stay fixed for some time to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Janus 28 #33 Posted May 29, 2019 A pint of bitter in The New Broom pub in Rotherham is £2, and it tastes great. It is a Sam Smiths pub. Quite strong too, two pints of that and I have a hangover, but I`m a lightweight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
