and you'll pay about 8 euros for it too in some of Dublins finer establishments.
It would help if most bar staff knew how to pour a pint of Guinness properly.
Wow! I was paying 5 euros in most bars when I went to Dublin a couple of weeks ago - I thought that was bad enough. Glad I never stumbled into one of the finer establishments. :-)
Can't vouch for Guinness as I've never been to Ireland but San Miguel is a completely different drink in Spain to the crap made over here. Same with Kroenburg and Stella. No myth involved.
2 large Changs while listening to today's game. Wholesale price, which I pay, about 80p a bottle.
Many bars in Patong (Phuket) now charge 2.50 for a small bottle (I charge around a pound in my little guesthouse bar). 4 quid for a jack Daniels and coke in many bars here now.
Just saying that it's not just England where booze inflation is getting out of control.
Cambodia is still very cheap, as is Vietnam if you avoid certain types of bar, the type I usually end up in!
If you make something more expensive people tend to think it is better and more desirable than it actually is. Exactly like designer labelled clothing.
Look at me I'm drinking Perroni.
Also Lager is always served as cold as possible so that you cannot taste how vile it really is.
I'll have a pint of ale please I like to be able to taste what I'm drinking.

I drink Peroni because I like it.
Come on mate, you know your not allowed to actually 'like' something!!

Haha yes sorry.... I drink it as I'm an ad-mans dream
Moretti and Peroni Nastro both made by the same French company. Weirdly the non premium Plain old Peroni tastes like a far more pleasant less fizzy brew.
Was out shopping with the missus on Friday. One of the assistants spotted me mooning around looking miserable and got me a seat and a bottle of Estrella. I was happy as a pig in shite hanging around after that. Simultaneously the cheapest and most expensive beer I've ever had.
Landlords have very little say in pricing their beers.
As a landlord you buy your beer from a supplier. If the supplier puts their price up by even a fraction the landlord has to put their prices up to have any hope of actually making money.
And of course everything costs money. To run a viable business (which is what the landlords are trying to do) you need to make as much money as you can. You can't go around under selling your beer because you feel bad for the punters.
Saying that I had a £5 pint of Brooklyn Larger in Angel the other day and it was bloody flat. Furious.

Was in there a couple of weeks ago. Despite assurances that they weren't showing the San Marino v England game, they did. I'm afraid the Youngs revamp is not to my liking, nor to many of the locals a barman told me. It's lost that old Tavern feel as they've got rid of the old large barrels you could stand around. In fact you can't really stand anywhere, apart from the bar but a third of that has gone too! It's gone heavily down the food road, which while understandable these days is still a shame in my book. You can no longer sit and just have a drink at those lovely huge bay windows on the first floor as this is strictly the restaurant area. The locals kicked up a fuss about this so the management converted the 2nd floor offices to a lounge. They call it the Crows Nest and while it is quite pleasant with good views, there is no bar up there. Two flights of stairs carrying drinks every 20 min or so is not much fun. The beer was ok, but what they call Youngs these days is simply that- ok.
In the Perth suburbs we are paying around £7 for a pint of gassed up lager or Pilsner. Up in the City it starts at around £7.50 for a pint and if you want to you can pay up to about £9.00 per pint. I too love Peroni, but only drink it at home. My beer fridge is full of Prroni Stubbies, bought at £34 for a carton of 24 stubbies.
I never realised Perth was so expensive. How long have you lived there. and this is a really random question but do you have a guest currently on her way to visit you?

"Guinness tastes better in Ireland". Rubbish. It tastes like Guiness.
Fact is that everything tastes better on holiday. Keo (in Cyprus) is a classic example. As is San Miguel.

Just don't understand why anyone would think that the same stuff in the same stuff in the barrels loses any flavour as it crosses the Irish Channel.
Is that not the case with most wines, ciders, champagne etc? Even soft drinks.

Where do you shop!?
Another one from her...
unlike your report then.
I presume they changed the writer of these over the years? Used to be abit more down to earth.
Only price quoted was £6.50 for a wine and gave 4* for drinks, seemed a bit odd.
