I pay £3.95 for a half of the more exotic ales in Craft Beer Co and yes they are generally worth it. I have also paid £24 for a pint (or 500ml) of bottled beer in Brighton; it was a special occasion though.

Ohh, Best beer ever!! very very few places sell it though.
The only place I know of is the pub next to Churchill Sq and was fairly sensibly priced about £4.20?

Large beer in our club is 1.14 GBP but we charge club prices.
Local Herna bar round the corner from me its 68 pence.
How are they justifying those prices in UK is it all tax or pubs grabbing it large?

What is premium about Peroni? It's just another mass produced lager.

Skeggy is BRILLIANT, but I'm not entirely sure why a guest house owner wants to sell Peroni on tap? In fact, I'm not sure why anyone would, it's not bad but always 20% more expensive than comparable beers....

Paid over a fiver for a pint or something or other in some shitty little dive next to Shoosh along the seafront one Saturday. Never again. No wonder the place was dead.

Why Peroni choose to charge the retailer so much is anyone's guess. However, all the while people (only bankers, according to the Evening Standard) indulge in paying the thick end of a fiver, they will carry on charging it.

boycotting Peroni is one of the easiest protests I have ever aligned myself with.

Whilst not exactly cheap, Komedia is a venue, not a pub and our prices are competitive with most of the pubs in central Brighton (bar the cheap chains). Kroney is £4.30, Fosters £4.10 and Ale £3.90 plus discounts if you buy a four pint jug. Good luck getting four pints for £15 in any other venue/club in Brighton on a Saturday night.

Brighton is London but by the sea.
No, but there are some that charge more, that is for certain. If you buy four pints in a jug it is only £3.66 a pint, which certainly is competitive. My point really is that Komedia is far from being an overly priced place to drink in Brighton, which is the accusation being levelled at it earlier in the thread.

Beer in Brighton has always been more expensive than beer in London (certainly in the 20-ish years I've been able to compare the two). An average Central Brighton pub is about 20p a pint more than an average Central London pub and has been as long as I can remember. Conversely, I imagine the difference in price between pubs and bars (I don't frequent the latter) is probably a lot smaller in Brighton, so beer in London bars would be a bit more than in Brighton ones.
