Another customer in my local was telling me about a pub in Bristol not a million miles away charging £6 for bitter. One of my two locals has gone up a bit, £4.60 for Doom Bar. The other is seeing more of me these days because they take £1 off all ales Mon and Thurs - which brings a Doom down to £3.35. Not bad for these 'ere parts.
That would be a rarity in Cornwall, St Austell Brewery have quite a monopoly in these parts. Had a day out in Plymouth with a few of the boys last year and we happened across 2 pubs that were not quite but almost as cheap as spoons, they were noticeably busier than other nearby pubs.
