    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

    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

    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 :(

    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?

    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?

    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?

    Carlsberg is probably the best crafted beer in the world.

    its also a marketing strategy to put the price point above that of the "commercial" stuff

    I gave up for 6 months about 3 years ago. But the most amazing thing was the price of non alcoholic beers, total rip off.

    The cheapest pint ( Guinness ) around south Dublin is generally € 4.80 in a public house, I am sure someone from Loughlinstown or Sallynoggin will pipe up now but that's generally the best bar price around, you will generally get a reduction of 50 c in sports clubs.

    I was off Grafton Street last night and was charged € 5.60 for a Guinness, I have been charged € 5.90 in town before.:mad:

    I think craft beer is overrated piss. Especially at the piss take prices.

    Anyone drinking Carlsberg should be on the Tuborg, it is the same beer.

    I would love to hear from any langers who drink Murphys or Beamish regular. How much is it a pint in Cork City ?
