Retlaw.

Same problem, they have little choice. I spend far more time and money in the clubs around the borough (Rishton Workmen's and Con plus the excellent one on Sydney Street) which tend to be just over half of what I would pay in a pub. It's a shame because I want to support the pubs but can't afford to as much as I would like.

Blame the breweries and management companies, they charge twice as much for tied houses as they do for the same barrel to a free house. Of course they can always blame successive governments for tax increases and people will believe it but when you look closely at that argument it holds very little water.

Don't remember now but i think it was around £1.80 for a pint of 'alpine' from the greyhound... Oh the greyhound; don't expect anything other that Samuel Smith in there

You mean the one with the pump that looked like a collection box when it was called Ayingerbrau?

Lethal stuff, used to be known as 'Wifebeater' in my local.

Pint of Fosters in the Cricket Club ( Accrington) is now £2.85, ridiculous really but then again we have the bloody huge Thwaites loan to pay off!

Ayinger, South Germany, Bavarian Brewery, approximately 25 km south-east of Munich. Standard Beer strength 4.9% that's not taking into account their specials which are markedly stronger. A typically picture postcard picturesque place & the Brew I remember the most is "Frühlings Bier" (Spring Beer), probably something to do with the romantic label the bottle carried.
