Stoatwobbler Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Pubs are tied on different things. Some are tied just on what is served through the pumps, and others are tied on all but snacks, or all beers and cider but not spirits. Sounds like the place in Norwich is tied on beer on tap, but not on bottles. The place in Norwich is very much a free house (or should that be "Free Mouse"), with it's own superb brewery.

Bilge Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The most overpriced beer has got to be any beer in a small bottle that you buy in a pub or club. How people fall for this ludicrous marketing con defeats me. It must work out at about £5 or £6 a pint for some rubbish lager made in Northampton or Luton. Has the world gone mad?

SHYTOT Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I went to Van Dyk's last weekend and was charged £3.95 for a pint of lager and £19.95 for a bottle of fairly ordinary Pinot Grigio. Although that pales into insignificance compared to a round at the Hilton recently. A pint of draught "smooth" and a white wine spritzer cost £11.95.

CashBack13 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 paid £4.40 for a pint of Leffe on Division Street, and same price for a pint of Frulli. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You're not suppose to Drink Belgium Beers in Pints you know? They are usually much stronger than normal beer some going as high as 10-12%! So are usually served in 250/330ml special glasses. You may pay £3 or so for these depending on the brand/strength but it has the same affect/or more than drinking a Pint (568ml) of carling/fosters so really it's better value and actually tastes of something!

CashBack13 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 So by that token you should only ever have one glass of the stuff as well? Or is it ok to have a pint so long as you have it in 2 glasses? Stop talking rubbish man. ----------------------------------------------------------- He's not! because it is specifically designed to be drunk in the amounts that the bottles are sold in, clearly a concept lost on people who think every beer drink has to be in a pint. 2 bottles of Leffe is 660ml which is more than a Pint and is 1.5-2.5% stronger than most Beers so you don't need a Pint all in one go! 3-4 Bottles and you are well on your way!

If a beer is served on draught then it is up to the customer if they choose to have a half or a pint. Guinness is sold in small bottles yet people still drink draught in pints.

Just a way to try and sell more of it in one go. Guinness in Bottles is different to Guinness on Tap anyway! They used to sell 'Draught' in Bottles but it didn't really work. In Belgium Pubs even the Beer 'on Tap' is served in special 250/330ml Glasses. The Brewer of the Beer knows best not the 'Immediate' Supplier!
