Erdinger longnecks in pubs -whats next?

rubadub · 2009-10-10 13:31:38

I saw longneck erdingers in an offie a few months ago. I thought uh-oh won't be long before the pubs get these in, and now I have noticed they have. I started a thread about the ridiculous price of long necks before. And it is my theory why bulmers pint bottles are so expensive. Pubs have bulmers on draught say €5, a long…

I saw longneck erdingers in an offie a few months ago. I thought uh-oh won't be long before the pubs get these in, and now I have noticed they have. I started a thread about the ridiculous price of long necks before. And it is my theory why bulmers pint bottles are so expensive. Pubs have bulmers on draught say €5, a long neck is usually more these days, so say €5.20 so then they go and price the pint bottle in line with the longneck I have heard of pubs charging €8.60.

I can imagine this happening with erdinger and other decent beers now. e.g. in many pubs a pint of erdinger might be €5.40, and the 500ml bottle would be around the same. But I can now see them charging say €5.20 for a heineken longneck, €5.40 for a erdinger longneck (since it is usually dearer than heineken), and then would not be surprised if we do start seeing 500ml bottle of erdinger going for €6-8 like bulmers.

I expect many pubs are just directly swopping the 500ml with the 330ml and charging the exact same.

I wonder what is next, I think I have seen budvar longnecks in offies too, a sad day...

I saw them in dunnes alright lately....never saw them in Germany so maybe its to suit our particular beer market...we are pure lambs when it comes to beer choice.

A lot of places in Dublin city are charging €6 for Erdinger already. I never drink the long neck version of most beers unless there is a particularly good offer on them so I wont be going near long neck Erdinger.

I myself would be fairly price sensitive to any increase in the price of an Erdinger as I think pubs are over charging as it is.
