    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.

    Couldn't drink a can of anything at home unless its 7up or skinny girl coke.

    Sweet mother of Jaysus would you not just have a glass of water or a soft drink instead of paying that much for a beer with no alcohol :eek:

    I think craft beer is overrated piss.

    While you're entitled to your opinion, and you may well feel that craft beer is overrated. But to describe a 10% chocolate imperial stout or a Belgian lambic that could potentially take years to make as piss really just displays your stunning ignorance of the product you're writing off. There are hundreds of beer styles out there, they can't all be simply written off with such a sweeping generalisation.

    You lot dismiss anything made by a company of a certain size with the same sweeping generalisations.

    It also doesn't mean everyone is going to find a 10% chocolate imperial stout to be enjoyable to drink just because you do. I find anything at that percentage level to be vile.

    Just cause you know your Claret from your Beaujolais does not mean I don't either.

    I have a beard too.

    There is a difference between being articulate and thinking you have divine elocution. Neither correlate to the beer you are swilling.

    Whatever about the craft thing, for example at Old Trafford they pay £0.17p per bottle of Heineken and sell it for £4.80.

    Also the real ale twats wouldn't touch anything on draft.

    However this thread if about the obscene markup on Guinness when it's delivered to a place a couple of miles away. It's the publican driving these prices then?

    I think rent and rates is the main factor. In saying that if you own a pub in Dublin City Centre you must be making nice money. If they can charge and extra € 1 a pint, it is serious money when it adds up.

    I would argue there is a huge difference between your average country publican and the Range Rovers that are running City Centre pubs.

    I've done the average for the local pint, based on replies to this thread.

    Have excluded foreign pubs, and non-alocholic beverages. I have included pints of Guinness where they were stated, instead of alternative beers; but alternative pints are included where no Guinness was mentioned.

    Average so far is 4.98 euro, about 50 cent lower than what I pay in my local (Dublin)

    Guinness is €5.50 in my local which is outrageous imo but they know how to charge money there. I like a 500ml bottle of Spaten, a very drinkable German lager that is €2 in most off licences. Its €7 in my local for one.

    There again, this establishment has a shop attached to it and they charge €5 for a 200g block of bog standard cheddar.

    It's quite incredible the markup but both pub and shop are busy from 8am til close every day (9am on Sundays!)

    Gleesons in Booterstown fits the bill (or fills the bill).

    I can taste alcohol at around 6% so anything over that is nasty to me.

    First they came for the socialists...

    When I see prices like these, I am glad that I have a Wetherspoons when i fancy a beer. 2 Euro for a Mi Wadi is madness

    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

    If it was wine it would be 6 times the norm, as that beer is, so would be £30 a glass, £120 a bottle.

    €4.15 for a pint of porter. Enough for 12 pints from a 50 bob note, with a 20 cent donation to the charity box on the counter.
