How much did your first ever beer cost you?

[Questions]

Going the other way I paid £7.90 for a pint of Mikkeller Centennial on Friday night after the football as I felt like treating myself.

Where was that ? I spent too much in The Brewery Tap before the game on posh beer.

Craft Beer Co, Upper North St. What's Brewery Tap like these days? It started off well but I gave up on it after a few weeks as only a handful of taps were working and they only had the well known beers and I prefer to try a few unknown/new ones from time to time. I'm prepared to head back if it's returned to its former self.

90 pence a pint for lager or cider - does that sound about right. Drunk at the likes of Shades (Royal Pav Tav)?

It was ok. Tried lots - they have that 3 x 3rd of a pint deal - but like you say I think maybe an occasional visit would suffice. I haven't tried Craft Beer Co yet but I have had some excellant Mikkellers in that place down Middle street when it was open.

Mid 80's I think just under a £1. Was shocked when it did eventually make it a £1.

70p a pint for Heineken in the Oxford Union back in 1991.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

I'm thinking it was in the region of 30p for a pint of very cold, very fizzy Heineken or Carlsberg in some hostelry in Horsham in about 1976.

Paid £3 for a pint of Kronenberg tonight in worthing, not my first but still so expensive!

That is quid cheaper than my local.

 

[Saltydog]

Gosh 15p per pint or 20p for a double with mixer at the "Dolby Arms"....ciggies were either 15p or 20p a pack if my grey matter is working today....! Okay it was subsidised and a perks of the job but you need to look after the crew as other then getting pissed was not a whole lot else to do.....!! That was back around '78/9

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Don't recall the actual amount, but under 30p.

 

[desprateseagull]

bottle of woodpecker cider, cobden arms, off elm grove in brighton. about £1.

Was Paul Barber your landlord?

Don't think he'd have put the prices back down if he was!

 

[Durlston]

A can of Labatts lager when I was 14. Used to drink in the park after school. It must have been around 90p which is about the same price as now as alcohol is so cheap in supermarkets.

 

[Noldi]

Mid 70s around 30p for Lager Bitter was cheaper. Trophy Bitter no wonder I Drank Larger in them days.

 

[OzMike]

30p in what used to be The Ship on the Lewes Road.

 

[Shy Talk]

T'was 1/9d for a pint of brown and mild in the green dragon in the early 70's. About 1/6d in the Queen Anne or Bosun in the 60's.

Couldnt tell you as my dad bought me it.

 

[chucky1973]

1990 - Tennants green - £1.45. That was a great pint back then. Also the good old Light and Bitter, about £1.50

30p in what used to be The Ship on the Lewes Road.

Was that the place with the strippers on Sunday lunch time? Late 70's?

About 1974 and as we were still at school the landlord prefered to sell us halves at 10p. Prices increased quickly in the few years after that and there was horror when a pint cost a quid. It was good paying less than 2 quid at Burnley this year.
