Default Drink prices

In your local how much is a pint of Stella and a bottle of magners?

My mate runs a pub just outside St-Albans and they charge £4.10 a bottle Magners and £3.60 a pint Stella

round my way its about £3 for a magners and £2.60 for a pint of stella, but that can go up to about £3 aswell if you go to the expensive places, but then you deserve that for drinking stella!

£2.20 for a pint of Stella in my Local.

I think Magners is around £2.50 could be wrong tho as I don't drink it but the bird does from time to time.

Same here!

Although thinking about it, maybe its because of this that the prices are as high as they are.

I got charged

£4.85 for a bottle of Magners/Bulmers in the Mail box the other day (swanky bit in Brum)

The pub I drink in over in Nuneaton used to be £1.31 a pint of Carlsberg.

When it changed hands that became £2.45- then more recently became £2.60.

My Mate owns a pub and sells Magners at 2.90.. she said if she were to mark it up to the same percentage as the beer (55%) then it would be £4.00. (that's what the brewery suggest!!)
