    Premium lager? An oxymoron, surely?

    £2-70 in our local pub, around £2-20 in the nearest club. That’s in Normanton, a small town 5 miles from Wakefield.

    Both establishments are perfectly civilised watering holes too, although a Yorkshire accent and appreciation of rugby league are prerequisites to being afforded a truly cordial welcome!

    York must be in the south.

    Pint of Stella was £5 in my local last time I bought one, although the local York brewery Guzzler is slightly less, still over £4 though.

    £5.80 plus “service charge” in most London hotels.

    I’m off to Iceland on Thursday, you really don’t want to know how much a pint is there!

    Within a five minute walk, a pint of e.g. Kronenbourg varies by a quid, from £4.80 to £5.80. Peroni, which is a proper premium lager, is minimum £6 when you can find it.

    A sub 4% ale can be had for £3.60 to £4.80 within the same five minute walk. When I found the sub £4 pint I was amazed that such a thing could still be found (and not a Wetherspoons), and served superbly.

    Spirits are another ballgame and with the dominance of Young's pubs, they seem extremely expensive, but that's because a single is 35 ml rather than the more common 25 ml.

    Pint of Kronenbourg in my local in town (halfway between the shop and the station) is £2.50. Lovely pint too.

    Pint of Budweiser in my local near home is £4.20.



    It's not a premium by any stretch but the best lager around at the moment is Bud Light in Wetherspoons. Always a nice crisp pint, only about 3.5% and it's less than 2 quid a pint!


    Bloody hell, I'm thirsty now. Breakfast anyone?

    london - about 3 to 4 quid a half on our last tasting run - this was crafty stuff not proper beer though... and I don't do that laagaa stuff

    home - proper beer is 3.40 in my local (do NOT order food there) and in other local its 4 quid because that is next door to the hotel and sells edible nosh.

    oddly the laagaa is cheaper than beer in the dive , but more expensive the chain place... double whammy for you flavour free lager boys drinking in posh pubs

    £4.50 is about standard for a pint. I’m mostly drinking Moretti these days. So between £4-5 a pint. (Preston)

    Similar prices in Sheffield Moretti or Estrella Damm cost around 4.50.

    Always upsets me paying UK prices for estrella it’s usually 1€ a bottle in Spain

    £5.40 for a pint of Stella in the Hilton Sky Bar in Bournemouth... +12% if they bring it to your table


    ~£4.50 ish in the bars around Bournemouth

    Paid €8 for a pint of Stella last week in the Alps. Not up the mountain, down in the village... Its our local when we're in town.

    As my brother used to run the bar we were in, it did come with a free shot. But the hoi palloi don't get this perk.

    A pint is very often cheaper than a bottle of something - though I understand the reliability (and sealability) of bottles can be desirable

    I’m taking the family on a cruise to Norway this summer - fortunately we’ll be fed and watered on the ship.

    I’ve been to Norway before some years ago and recall the open wallet surgery...

    Price round here is approx £4.80 a pint.

    How much is the pint of premium lager?

    When home, Nottingham, always into £4 something for Peroni-esque lagers

    Here now, in Łódź, Poland, it’s easy to find a half litre of decent lager for well under a quid.

    (And I just had dinner, 3 courses including Filet Mignon as a main, a small beer and a glass of Malbec, and paid about £20)

    You must have been somewhere posh! I was drinking bottled Hanoi lager in most places and it was about 50-odd pence ;)

    If you drank the fresh stuff, local brewed and only good for the day it was made, it was about 25p a glass

    Paid the extra for the Saigon premium :-{)

    I do love a country where the beers costs not much more than bottled water

    Around £4 in Glasgow. Still shocked from last February where a bottle of Peroni cost £8.50 in the Grosvenor House hotel

    Anything sub 4% is also welcome to me, but this is tasteless fizz brewed using rice, that doesn’t deserve to be called beer.

    Leave it to the 16 year olds who drink it because their taste buds haven’t fully developed yet.

    Sorry, don’t take offence, but a crappier beer I can’t think of.

    Bud Light is not in any way 'Premium'.
