I can never understand why gassy cider is now more expensive than beer. The manufacturing process is much cheaper so gassy cider drinkers must be paying for the branding. Now scrumpy...that is different.

Is the fermentation process not longer for cider?

I enjoy a pint or two and to be honest I can't remember the prices of a pint near me. I order pay and drink it. As long as it tastes right then I'm happy.
It's places like wetherspoons that are helping pubs being shut down because of the prices they can sell their ale for.

£2.40 for a Coors in the local Social club, £2.40 for a Carling at the cricket club, £3.20 odd for a pint of Carling/Coors at the golf club.

I stopped over in Fort William on my way back from the Western Isles.
At the east end of the high street there is a newly opened Travelodge with a Weatherspoons on the ground floor.
Fort William has been in sharp decline and lately I would never have thought of stopping over there.
Tatty overpriced Hotels/B&Bs and pubs that were generally unclean and sold grossly overpriced very poor food.
The Weatherspoons and Travelodge were heaving and must have brought an additional 200 to 250 folk into the town that night.
That can't be bad for a failing town.
Like the reaction to the smoking ban, the poor pubs will always fail.

I was quite shocked by the nick of Fort William last time I was there (2011), glad to hear something's improving

I think peroni is 4.50 a pint down the golf club. But then we're all rich down south, so it doesn't matter.

Slaley Hall is a complete rip off for everything!
Last year me and Kellfire went up as we got a deal with groupon, decided to have a drink and bacon sandwich first.
2 Bacon sandwiches, one coffee and a bottle of J20, just shy of £20!
£2 for a dozen range balls, it ended up costing us a small fortune.

I couldn't honestly tell you the price of beer at my place, it's a hotel course so probably not cheap; we do get a 15% discount though.

Local hotel [Angels ] charged me £9.95 for a pint of Stella and large glass of sauvignon blanc, but then added £1.40 for a glass of soda water out of a tap , when the misses said "i need soda water to put in my wine".
A bottle on the table costs £21.00. The same wine is on sale at local stores for under £ 6.00 a bottle .
I know they must make a profit, but if i can buy a bottle for £6 they must get it at least 20% cheaper than me ?, is that the normal mark up they put on booze these days ?. Thats why i don't go out so much these days .

There's a restaurant in Bridge of Weir called Amaretto that charged me £3.80 for a pint of soda water and lime about 5 years ago - haven't been back funnily enough

A decent pub worth it's salt will survive in the current climate no matter what they're charging for a pint.

Pubs who cater for all tastes round here tend to do better than those who limit themselves to lager and bottles only with the token John Smiths for 'bitter' drinkers. John Smiths is not even that popular anymore up here with the thousands of other real ale options available within 20 miles of Leeds.
Simple logic really, have some hand pumps with good beer and you will entice more custom.
What I cannot stand in pubs are those damnable fruit machines. They are like a gathering place for idiots around here.

Another Amen! you dont fancy a who wants to be a millionaire game then, or one better, the virtual golf one! Epic.. Not..
Pubs need places to sit, background music (not loud), decent booze and smiling faces. pretty simple really, i would and do pay more for a pint if the ambiance is nicer.
