Price of a pint in your local

RasTa

Just got sent an image on whatsapp of a mate drinking a Guinness in our old local.

€5.10 the Carpenter, in Carpenterstown D15.

Someone tell me this isn't the norm?

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo

PirateShampoo

€7.45 Quays Bar.

Panthro

4quid

Bobblehats

₹120. Roughly translated about €1.50

Ten of Swords

I'm about to spend £24 on a pint of number 14 here in one of my locals but it's 11% so cheap really for one of the best beers around. If it was wine we would be talking £3-4k

I was actually in the bar in the Carpenter (in-laws local) back in March. A pint of Smithwicks and Coors/Heineken/whatever lager I can't really remember was €10.55. I was hoping for change from a tenner but it's been that long since I've had a pint in a Dublin suburb that I wouldn't really know.

Yeah serious bargain that in fairness.

In Malahide, a pint of Heineken is €5.80. I hate paying it, but I love the pub.

And that's why prices will continue to be at rip off levels

I see the point of the thread now.

Grandeeod

Three pints of Carling for €11.

Fr Tod Umptious

In mid Kerry village pub.

Guinness 4.20
Larger 4.20

RasTa

I remember paying €4 in the Villager when I lived in Chapelizod. I thought over €5 for a Guinness was reserved for Temple bar and the airport.

£2.25 over here on a Mon and Tues. £3.50 normally. Why do people pay it?

4.60 for Guinness in my local in east meath

£24 on a pint?!

I think even in locals if you don't have to give anything with a fiver these days you're doing well. Sad state of affairs really. It's brewed down the road ffs

HotSince84

I haven't paid less than a fiver for a pint of lager anywhere in Dublin in years.

Laois and a lot of pubs around Ireland. Could be Tubourg instead, but same deal. Used to be a tenner.

4:20 for a Guinness in Co. Galway.

No we wouldn't, You're just being ripped off with yuppy beer.

There are very few wines worth £3-4k per pint.
The ones that are have matured for decades and the grapes needed the perfect conditions to all come together. Beer is just not comparable.

OldMrBrennan83

€5.50 in the one on the outskirts of Dublin. €4.90 in the real local.

Is this the fake Victorian nonsense in Temple Bar?

Omnipollo in Stockholm? Nice bar. Akkurat's a great one, too.

Just paid €3 for a pint of Fosters in Fuengirola. Half a litre in my local is €1.50. pint in the local Irish pub is about €4.50.

Pints back in Bray seem to hover around €5.50 for lager, €4.50 for Beamish. Paid €6.20 in the Globe last time I was back.

If you pay for craft beer you're being over charged.

dartboardio

I drink Kopparberg, so usually €5.50/6 for 500ml bottle.

Orchard thieves my local is €4.70, in town in Waterford itd be €5.50


Lets just say i cant wait to go on holidays to have cheaper drink

Probably not even a pint. Give it’s 11% you’d expect a higher price. But a brewery like Lagunitas can release a six pack of over 12% beer for $13.

PHG

Living in Scandinavia. No pint, but 500ml and it's over €7.

Bottles are a killer, but it is the spirits that are the worst. Standard GnT (40ml) can range from €14 to €16.

RasTa

Well I obviously never paid £24 for a pint. Using that as an extreme example over here. But that beer was a once off, is 11% and never will make it into cans.

What are publicans paying for a keg of Guinness these days, charging over a fiver and how come its almost half price over here? Can't all be duty

ceadaoin.

Free if you put $20 in the poker machine at the bar. So, $20 then or $3-$5 depending on what beer. Not a pint though

MyStubbleItches

Heading to my local at the crossroads here in mid cork in a few minutes. €4.20 for Guinness and Murphy’s. €3.80 Beamish and I think €4.50 for lager.

i don't agree , you can be overcharged. But I'll pay 6e a pint if I like the stuff.

Necro

4.95 for a Pint Bottle of Bulmers in my local.

About 4.60 for a Guinness, Heineken or Carlsberg.

Used to do Tuborg for 3.50, Carling too but they mysteriously stopped that

Odyssey 2005

€4.30 in one and €4.10 in another. Prefer the 4.30 one. Lovely atmosphere. Jemmy €3.80 and a g+t is only €5.10

Not sure how you come to that conclusion. Fair enough if you haven't found a craft beer you like or feel it's worth paying for, but I could make the equally valid/pointless argument that if you're paying for Budweiser/Coors/Carlsberg/whatever you're being overcharged. It's all down to a) personal taste; and b) what people perceive as being value for money. Personally I prefer to spend more money on what I believe to be a higher quality product that I'll drink less of, rather than on a load of pints of something I feel is a poorer quality beer and therefore represents, to me, poor value for money. But each to their own, who am I to tell anyone else what they should drink?

dodderangler

Been sober for over 6 days now so couldn’t tell you what price of a pint is these days!

If people are happy to pay the prices for something other than the usual run-of-the-mill beers, then what's the big deal?

I hear plenty of people say the likes of Bud, Heineken and Carlsberg taste like piss. Surely there shouldn't be a problem in looking for another option? It's going to be more expensive because its not mass-produced and mass-marketed like the other but if they're happy paying it for what they perceive to be higher quality, what's the big deal?

Similarly, if people want to drink the usual stuff, that's their business.

The comment that kicked it all off was an authorarive, sneering line about people paying more for what they believe to be better quality. Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen similar comments made in the opposite direction.Why should anyone care what some randomer on the Internet thinks about their drinking preferences?

How do you know for sure whats on the other end of tap 14?

willowthewisp

It’s that rare that I actually get out for a pint, so terrible as it is to say it....I didn’t know & I don’t care as I’m just happy to be out!

RasTa

Considering you can buy 24 cans of Guinness or Heniken for €24 quid in the supermarkets it's you lads getting ripped off in the locals.

No pint of the big stuff should be costing over a fiver ever. That's the crafty price point.

Why should the "crafty" price point be higher? Just because some lad makes it in a shed and calls it Goblins Foreskin?

yurtyaherne

€5.70 for a long neck (330ml) bottle of Heineken 0.0!!

More ingredients, higher ABV and lower output. 1m kegs a day v 1,000

Carlsberg is probably the best crafted beer in the world.
