It should be £5 a pint and that’s still

too dear.

Don't mind paying a premium as long as I'm given the choice of having something half decent.

Was paying £6.60 for pissweak Amstel at Arctic Monkeys at Hillsborough. Only lager on the menu. Grim. 

Sold in them cups that have a chemical taste to them 🤢 only had the one pint in there

This is why people smuggle meths in brown paper bags.

Surely someone knows by now?…

Anyone know if I'll be able to replace my metal cup on site? Just remembered I lost mine at the last festival and no time now to replace it!

£8 f**king quid

I presume that was the full strength Lagunitas? Not the (nicer imo) Lagunitas Daytime session? If so, that is a decent price for an event, it's over 6%, you'd pay well over £6 in a pub. 

Cost price was almost £160 for a 30L keg (52.7 Pints) in 2019,  (£3.03 per pint) dread to think what it is now.

Really?  The most expensive pint in our local village pub is only £5.25 and that's Neck Oil or Moretti.  Strongbow, Guinness, Coors, Carling, Doom Bar or Worthingtons are all in the £3.25 - £4.00 range.  Last time I was in London you could pay almost double that.

Are you sure the Guinness is £4? If it is, the tenants won't be there long. Guinness (or should I say Diageo) maintain complete control over their product, you simply can't get better prices from any suppliers by shopping around, and it's expensive. Should be at least £4.80 in a pub really, absolute minimum I'd expect to see it at is £4.30 to £4.50, anywhere, and they wouldn't be hitting a sustainable GP at that price. £4.00 is borderline loss leader.

Carling, Doom Bar, Coors etc at £4.00 is about right... And Strongbow should be less than £4.00. No idea  about Worthy, we've never sold that fake bitter shite, but I imagine that is the lowest priced pint is it?

Rarely drink the Guinness but it used to be £3.95. May have increased and I haven’t noticed. Worthy’s is the cheapest I think, along wit Carling.

Ours was £4.30 last year, increases over winter pushed it up to £4.80. So if they've done the same, £4.50 ish is probably manageable. 

Guinness is a sore point, I've recently spent a lot of time and energy approaching all brewers and wholesalers to supply us, in order to get the best prices, and keep increases down for our customers, (we're free of tie) but none of them can do anything about Guinness prices, they absolutely have a monopoly on (mainstream) Stout, and they're not afraid to exercise the power that gives them. They know you 'have' to stock it.

Hadn’t thought about that, but you don’t see other stouts in pubs any more. Used to bed a few around, Murphys being the main one we used to get near us. Can’t remember seeing as anything but Guinness now you mentioned it.

[mark_87]

Anyone know yet the prices onsite for draft beer?.. and is it only Brooklyn?

Murphys > Guinness imo. I adore Guinness as well but Murphys shades it.

US arena prices will blow your minds. A 16oz (483ml) can of local IPA at The Cure at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle a couple weeks back was $18.18

[TGCarr]

Cider and pint's were £6.20 at Parklife with Redbull Vokda £9. Expect to be the same here

$18 dollars for a can of Corona at Barclays Centre in Feb. Didn't even fit in the drinker holders in the seat. Was gutted

Has anyone already on site seen the prices and beers on offer yet? Hoping for a more interesting option than lager!
