Not paying top dollar for beer which is likely to be sub par.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-85510311634604001122021-07-27T08:42:50.836+01:002021-07-27T08:42:50.836+01:00It's the Pure Brewed that has the premium pric...It's the Pure Brewed that has the premium pricing. I think that £8.45 would have been made up of £3.25 for the Pure Brewed and £5.20 for the stout, which is probably less than most London Guinness.<br /><br />The £3 for OBB in Stockport is still 40-50p less than Robinson's in the town.<br /><br />But the Beer Police will be knocking on your door for your lack of commitment to cask there, Peter ;-)Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-45130284038741143082021-07-26T22:15:36.661+01:002021-07-26T22:15:36.661+01:00Indeed Phil.

And I forgot. I had a pint of cask in the Pride of Spitalfields.

No wonder it was empty! I have noticed before now that going off-piste in a Sam's pub can be a costly business - particularly getting anything in a bottle - but I wouldn't have thought a nitro stout would come under the 'premium' heading.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009879034507926661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-48353278265410213482021-07-26T18:37:51.467+01:002021-07-26T18:37:51.467+01:00That you can visit for a week and only have one ca...That you can visit for a week and only have one cask beer is a fairly depressing sign of the times.
