Dronfielder Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Carling at 20 cans for a tenner, if you want your beer brewed with broken biscuits and old bus tickets then be my guest. I prefer my beer with a bit of flavour. Sheffield has some wonderful micro breweries that produce beer not Eurofizz!! These Micros are constantly winning national awards for the quality of the beers that they produce Have a go on Bradfield Farmers Blonde or Abbeydale moonshine, then come back to me and say that they are expensive. Makes the fizzy yellow wife beater stuff look rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puisseguin Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 As a non smoker, the fag smoking ban has hurt many boozers, coupled with dear ale and cheap supermarket booze, well you can see the result. Closing pubs. Regards Angel. Who cares if pubs close through lack of trade? Surely that means there are still plenty of pubs for those who want to use them. Have you noticed that nearly all the temperance bars have shut? I think it happened a while before the smoking ban came along. It seems to have coincided with the time that pop started to be sold in supermarkets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balpin Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Proper good old pubs are nothing to do with the price of supermarket drink. The old 'local' was just that, a place where the locals could meet and have a chinwag, and on some nights, a good drink if they wanted. All this used to be presided over by the Landlord and Lady. And great people they were. All we have these days are drinking warehouses, with managers that change every day, and have no idea of how to make a pub. I have not been in a drinking warehouse for more than three years, but can guarantee that if I did, I would still find the same people as I left there. The grand days of the landlord are long forgotten, and it is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been pointed out nowadays we have some cracking pubs, selling extensive ranges of hand pulled ales at reasonable prices. If people choose not to go to those places then it's their bad luck. As for supermarket prices.....well sure, if the only reason to drink is to get pished as cheaply as possible then supermarkets may have an impact...but surely most normal people go to pubs to meet their friends and socialise, not just to get ****faced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in a (waitfor it) a connurbation of small villages. Can you believe that, about 8 villages in about 20 sq miles. We are now down to about 6 pubs in the entire area and non doing well. One of the main reasons is this. I am on here talking to electrons, rather than being down the pub. I have an excuse, I am driving to Hull later, so must be reposed.

GrapeApe Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 20 cans of carling for only a tenner at asda,and people wonder why the good old fashioned pub is on its last legs,if the brewery's were as generous with publicans then maybe we wouldnt see so many decent pubs in sheffield closed down Good pubs aren't on their last legs. Old fashioned ones may be. That's partly because they dont offer punters what they want any more. Adapt or die. Only the best ones will survive.

Harleyman Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Bar beer in America has become too expensive. 5 dollars plus for a a pint of beer and the American pint isn't even as big as the British pint. Everybody complains about the price of a gallon of gas but beer prices keep creeping up and nobody says a word about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only sold in Sams Clubs Aside from Samual Adams the big breweries dont turn out much that appeals to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
