I'd like to know how this crisis can happen at the same time as rampant house price inflation. Where's the money coming from to make that possible?The U.K. Is Two Months Away From a Brutal Cost-of-Living Crisis

I'm in the SE 45 miles from London £5 for a normal pint of lager and £4.50 for a pint of bitter is the going rate.
Decent tap room with craft beers will be £5 minimum I wouldn't buy a pint for £7:50 local to my house its not worth it IMO I have decent beer here which has cost me about £3 a pint.
The last restuarant meal we went out for, the bottled beers were £5 each. In the provinces.Decent tap room with craft beers will be £5 minimum I wouldn't buy a pint for £7:50 local to my house its not worth it IMO I have decent beer here which has cost me about £3 a pint.
k that, 3 for £7 in my city centre local.

Surely, about £3 to £3.50 is about right ?. I'd never pay over £5.
I was stood in the hotel bar in London about 4ish years ago looking at the waiter waiting for my change from a fiver for a pint whilst he stood looking at me waiting for the rest of the money. 
i didn't bother to buy another

It's a good question Mitch, I often wonder where it'll end, pricing is getting out of hand and the vast majority cannot afford it, I see a divide opening up and it'll be ugly when it falls apart.

Pre lockdown I went to the pub a lot and never once thought about the price.
I've spent a couple of years enjoying Lidl's finest at 99p to £1.39 for 500 cc & now £5 a pint seems expensive.
I can't be the only one who has been altered this way.
Same here. Supermarkets have been selling Stella and other 'premium beers for less than a quid a pint. Meanwhile the pubs have hiked their prices and are selling chucking lager for £5 a pint. The difference is pretty staggering considering when I started drinking the pub was always the cheapest place to get beer.I've spent a couple of years enjoying Lidl's finest at 99p to £1.39 for 500 cc & now £5 a pint seems expensive.

Place in my neck of the woods at the top floor of a hotel that sells pints of Harp (yes Harp) Lager for £9 it is always empty, staff walk around like they have rods up their arse. Local Wetherspoons sells it for £1.90.
When it first opened they had a guy on the lift with a special key that looked you up and down and decided if you met the standard to drink a basic but overpriced lager in their top floor establishment. Now they let any ragamuffin in.
