Unless you go to a Wetherspoons or the like, prices are generally 2 drinks for a tenner wherever you go.
It's insane, really, and the reason I rarely venture out to drink these days - a couple of hours and you're £50 lighter.
I know, I don't go out much these days but we do have an annual family all dayer in bath and i can easily spend 150 quid.

My 2016 New Years resolution to try as many different beers as possible has been going well. I'm spending a ridiculous amount of money on beer lately but now up to 116 unique beers for 2016. I'm pretty happy with that. By virtue of a couple of tastings/brewery tours I've tried two odd but good beers that I would have never tried otherwise: Canopy Beer Co's Into The Deep - stout brewed with real oysters. And the weirdest beer I've ever tried Yeastie Boys' Rex Attitude made with 100% heavy peat malt. It smells like burnt wood and TCP but tastes like cigars and whisky. Weird but good. It's good to have a hobby.

That's very popular round here. I know someone who has it tattooed on his chest.

I cannot recommend high enough the service of this beer shop, 3 days from order to delivery, one off postage of £7.49 for however many bottles you order with possibly the best selection I have seen in this country. Just got my Christmas delivery of 21 Belgian, German and English Christmas beers from them...can't wait to try them. http://www.beersofeurope.co.uk/

Anyone know why the beer Dead Pony Club is so expensive? 4 diddy cans £8.40 and only 3.8%.
It'd better taste like Emma Watson's piss at that price.

Where is that? Usually about £6 for a four pack of Brewdog here.
It's a session IPA so low percentage.
Just tried Old Peculier for the first time, can't decide if I like it or what it is
