Pubs with a brewery next door?

anyone remember when you used to pay two different prices for the same beer in the same pub? best sides always charged a penny more than the tap side

Yeah that was pretty common back in the day.My first local was the Atlas Hotel in Brinsworth.This pub was one of a few that was a free house.The tap room was always a penny cheaper than anywhere else in the pub.

Aside from the tap room , there was a lounge , a concert room and you could also stand at the bar in the large foyer if you were only in for a quick 'un.

my dad always used to tell me that the penny was for the staff that once used to serve you at your table, save you going to the bar, and the penny tradition was carried on from there

The old Wicker Brewery  -nickname Hole in the Wall- on Savile Street had  a 'brewery' next to it but that place  only brewed  (distilled) vinegar.

FYI,  it's been £2:50 a pint for about 9 months now, but it is quality beer and well worth it.

That's quite a steep hike but as you say, still great value for money.

Isn't beer relatively cheaper these days than it used to be?

Yes in Poland.

The alcohol affordability index shows that alcohol was 60% more affordable in 2015 than 1980, and that affordability rose by 36% between 2005 and 2015. It also shows that having declined between 2007 and 2013 in the wake of the recession and rising alcohol taxes, affordability has begun to rise again
