    Around £3-£4 in our local in London. As others have said we can pay £5 in many pubs, which is hideously expensive.

    Not enough options in the survey: a pint in Wetherspoons in Milton Keynes can be less than £2 (generally £2.25 for real ale) but in The Two Brewers in Olney it's a ridiculous £3.95 - you're not in London mate!!
  • £2 to £3
    As many have said, Wetherspoons wins when it comes to cheap/decent ale, so fortunate that my local is one. £2.05-2.35 for a pint average in London.

    £5.05 in the bar next to work, which I just find offensive.

    took a trip into London recently.

    being a JDW person I like to compare the standard guest ale price

    My local £2.20 the one next to the tower £3.15 which I thought was OK for London

    I did go to the Brewdog Shepards Bush and there price for Punk was £4.95 but the beer is good.

    They did have a guest ale at £13.80pt.

    2013 when in Glasgow the price in the spoons there varied between £1.90(Henlers)-£2.50(Counting house).

    I stopped going to the pub years ago after discovering that most cask beer was basically fish-soup due to the isinglass left in the bottom of the barrel. Yeast drops out naturally under the influence of gravity so there is absolutely no need to use animal products in what should be a plant-based drink.

    Unfortunately, the law doesn't require brewers to tell you what else they have put in your beer along with the hops, yeast, malt and water it should be.

    I'd much rather get a couple of decent bottles of fish-free beer in and enjoy them at home, plus the fact most of them taste far better than the tired old brown stuff most pubs serve at vastly inflated prices.
    Fish soup ? lol
    What are the fining rates for draught beers ?
    How much finings goes into keg beers.
    Admit it, you dink at home because no-one talks to you in the pub and you are tight.

    As I understand it (and judging from the PDF below), isinglass is exempt from labelling requirements on beer and wine (although not cider?!), so you could still be drinking fish soup unwittingly...

    People may complain about over 4 quid a pint but it's still a lot cheaper than the price of many bottles like Sol etc and it's draught too.
