New York last year, beer prices were expensive....seemed to average around 8 dollars a pint in 'normal' pubs. Add to that the obligatory tip. Pints in New York are usually also only 40 cl. I admit I was in touristy areas but I am also when in London. Go in some of the traditional London boozers in Soho etc and its quite east to get a decent beer for about 4 quid.

Even in Bruges a large beer of even something like Jupiler was setting me back about 5.00 euro the last time we went which was about 2 years ago. Was in London a couple of weeks back paying roughly 4.50 for a pint. Christ knows where you were drinking then, because the only time I ever paid more than €5.00 for any beer in either Brugge or Brussels early this year was when I had a bottle of Westvleteren XII (and that is always insane). Even hipster drinking palaces like Delirium Cafe are pretty cheap - average for most trappist beers is €4-5. The missus had a half litre of Jupiler at Brussels Gare du Midi while we were waiting for the Eurostar and even there it was only €4.00 (and my bottle of Westmalle Tripel at the same place was about €3.50). Also, who goes to Belgium to drink bloody Jupiler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Copenhagen the most expensive place I've found for beer in general. London, Paris and NYC by comparison is easier to find a cheaper pint but the toppermost prices would be more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep tis expensive, I drink in Copenhagen when I work in Malmo, only a short train ride over into Sweden. Can easily be paying £7.50 a pint there. However, Sweden edges it for me, 60SEK-90SEK is about standard which works out at around £6-£8.70 and often at the higher end of the range anywhere decent. £4.50 a pint at my local in hampshire, I take full advantage when I'm up in the Midlands/North.

South of the river is more expensive than Derby but a lot more reasonable (about 5 pound a pint). Avoid central areas as much as possible, regular Londoners don't drink there either. But south of the river isn't really London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 On the subject of London boozers, shepherd neame still own a fair number of small "traditional " boozers around the City which charged around £4 a pint for their own ales.

A round of DD for me and four mates and change from a ten bob note.

ossieram Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 We were in Chester just before last Christmas and some of the bars up there extract the urine with their prices, but we found a couple of Samuel Smith pubs that only charge £1:90 a pint and decided they were the places to sup.
