I usually spend £30+ on 8 bottles and cans in my local bottle shop. |

Cras wrote: Bloody hell - almost £4 each shop prices?! On average yeah. Most are £3-4 and the top of the range ones are £6-7 for 500ml cans, depending on the strength. Some beers are 10+% and they are more expensive. I haven't tried any of the 750ml bottles yet because they're mostly £15-20 and if I don't like one it's a lot to tip down the drain (not that I've ever hated anything enough to do this, they know my tastes pretty well). |

£5.50 a pint at Twickenham today which is ridiculous but simultaneously not as bad as I expected. |

One of the less salubrious local hostelries has this sign outside. It's not a bad boozer really but does perhaps cater for the 'less poncey' end of the market, which is reflected in the prices. They famously got rid of their pool table because people kept twatting each other with the cues. Initially they tried to remedy this by putting the cues behind the bar and demanding a £5 deposit for their release. However, one evening a chap calmly went up to the bar, asked for the cues, paid his £5 deposit, and then proceeded to twat someone with one of them, apparently happy to forfeit his fiver in return for ready access to an offensive weapon. £2.60 for a pint of Okells ain't bad though. We'll usually have one or two in there on a night out. The place has been rebranded, relaunched, renamed, redecorated etc more times than I can remember since 1994 when I first went in there, but ultimately it always seems to attract the same sort of folks back to enjoy its hospitality.

Mikkeller Hallo Ich Bin Eine Berliner Weisse raspberry (1 pint can, Belgium 3.7%) - new version of this awesome Berliner Weisse previously available in cherry and peach flavours. 8/10 Omnipollo Magic #3.5 pineapple gose (330ml bottle, Sweden 3.5%) - bit disappointingly thin. Nicely tart but not enough pineapple. 5.5/10 Mike Hess Grazias cream ale (1 pint can, USA 6.3%) - this uses dark malts with chocolate and vanilla flavours, but with lager hops so it's definitely a unique flavour. 7/10 Mikkeller Beer Geek Cocoa Shake imperial stout (330ml bottle, Belgium 12.1%) - I'm a sucker for an imperial stout but this is better than most. So much coffee and chocolate and really boozy. I love it. 8.5/10 |

They clearly missed a money making opportunity here - they should rent out offensive weapons. Keep a bunch of baseball bats and mattock handles behind the bar and give them out for a tenner a pop. |
