The Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA), which represents 850 beermakers in the UK, is hoping ale enthusiasts are prepared to dig deeper into their wallets.

“It is important that beer drinkers understand the challenges that face Britain’s independent brewers in terms of rising costs but also the fundamental truth that craft beers rely heavily on quality, often imported ingredients,” said SIBA managing director Mike Benner.

“Independent brewers use these quality ingredients purely for their flavour, which means consumers are getting very good value for money when they choose an independent craft beer.”

In the Royal London:

S'alright. Anything that decreases the chances of ending up in the Moon on a matchday is fine by me.

Out of interest, how much would a pint of the Jaipur or Punk be in there?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Dunno. I don't want to go up to the bar, ask and then don't order one because I'll look like a right cheap bastard and I have a reputation to uphold.

Is that Backyard Brewhouse IPA?

Go and buy one, mate, and if I ever find the time to come back up to Wolves again, I'll reimburse you. :icon_smile:

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Would be counterproductive, I'd buy it, have about three sips, leave it on the table and they'd think 'wow, this beer must be shit, that geezer just handed over half a mortgage payment for it and barely touched it. Best take it off the menu'.

 

[leedswolf]

Just ask for a 'taster' ffs.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No :icon_lol:

I'm fairly sure the answer to SLA's question is 'too much' anyway

 

[machin05]

£4.10 in Boho round the corner, so it shouldn't be any/much more than that. The Jaipur will be cheaper, because you know, cask has to be cheaper for some reason.

 

[So Long Architect]

I was just curious to see what the regional difference might be. £5.35 for a pint of Punk in my local.

 

[Nando]

Punk varies wildly in price here. £3.75 up to £5.35. The most expensive I've found it is in their own bloody bar!

 

[leedswolf]

BrewDog are notorious for hiking prices.

 

[machin05]

They've got to pay for those supermarket discounts somehow!

 

[leedswolf]

Just like a macro brewery.
