£6 for a pint of Peroni on Fiday, to accompany a mediocre Toby Carvery. Wouldn't have bothered, but Mrs B had a "half price" offer voucher for the meal bit & even at that it was over-priced. Won't bother visiting there again anytime soon, offers or not.

Not just here that beer is expensive. Germany for mnany years was around €2.50 / €3 for a 0.4 / 0.5 litre draught beer (serving size largely depends on where you are - further South = larger basic serving size). Last September it was €4.50 / €5.50 in bars & restaurants. But a crate of 20 x 0.5 litre bottles could still be had in the supermarkets from €10 + crate & bottle deposit (around €4) for the "weekly offers" and around €16 for the bigger brands. I do prefer draught beer to bottled, though.

I have tended to bring back a year's supply over two trips at cheap German prices - not difficult to do as I don't drink much & the MH has a large garage. At £5-6-7 per pint here I would largely give up. As others are likely to do the same, more pubs / restaurants will be closing in the coming months.
