I heard on the radio last week that a beer in England costs the equivalent of $8 or $9 for a pint!!!

Is that the case, or was this news of great import mis-reported?

Aye, we serve pints of bitter at £1.70, Lager at £1.90, so about $4 sounds an average. However go into Manchester centre, and one of the bars there, and £3 a pint is probably the norm. (though cheap studenty bars will probably do a quid a bottle) London will be far worse than that.

Like said above, all depends where your drinking, same any country

Cheapest pint I've ever bought is £2.50 in my local. Most expensive was in The Europa hotel in Belfast, £3.50. Was cheaper for a shot tbh.

Costs £1.75 to £3.00 in Bangor. Generally nearer £2 than not. Had cheap pints earlier for £1. Winner.

Haha, that was quick. When Craig was over here he tried the stuff (liked it, needless to say) and told me he'd never seen or heard of it in Australia so much as once.

Good stuff spreads fast.

Over here in the few places you can get a pint you pay about €5.50, which is about £4 and obviously extortionate. Usually you pay about €2 for "un demi" which is just under half a pint. The upside is that buying bottles from a supermarket to drink at home is ridiculously cheap - you can get a six-pack of pretty much whatever you want for under €3, some under €2.
