Beer

Bought 4 cans of that for about the same price

Electric India and Tokyo are not exactly comparable though. I bet a 1/3 pint of wine in most pubs is that much.

Where from?

 

[machin05]

The Electric India? Sainsburys. It's replaced Hop Fiction in their seasonal releases.

Electric India and Tokyo are not exactly comparable though. I bet a 1/3 pint of wine in most pubs is that much.

A third of a pint is only a medium glass of wine (180ml) so that's one pricey glass of wine.

 

[machin05]

It's a pricey beer, but you know, all beers are not equal.

Randomly chosen wine bar in London (which is surely the equivalent of a craft beer bar in London) - https://4b4a0s2byrrf1cf4dgqspeh1-wp...ent/uploads/sites/43/2014/05/April-2017_2.pdf

Only one 175ml glass of each style comes in cheaper than 189ml of Tokyo.

Or, how about a Youngs pub just down the road from Brewdog in Shepherds Bush - http://www.defectors-weld.co.uk/drinks

Again, not a whole lot of wine coming in any cheaper than a 1/3 of Tokyo...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Fuck paying nearly £6 for a glass of wine and fuck paying £6 for a 1/3 pint of beer. It's not happening.

I'd just find somewhere else, there are plenty of places in London that don't charge that.

 

[machin05]

It's 16.5%! Why would you want a bigger measure than 1/3rd!!?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't want it full stop!

It's silly money.

 

[machin05]

Not for what you're getting, IMO.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I respectfully disagree. I'm not made of money. If I go out with £30 to spend on a matchday then there's no way I'm spending 20% of it on 1/3 of a pint.

 

[machin05]

I agree, absolutely. I see it as a once in a while indulgence. My point though, is for what you're getting it's not a rip off. Just because it's a 'beer' doesn't mean it has to be a cheap commodity.
Similarly, if was out for a lash up and wanted some food, I wouldn't grab a £12 gourmet burger from Burger Priest when I could grab a Big Mac or whatever for a third of the price. Doesn't mean all burgers should be judged on the price of a Big Mac.

Had the latest Howling Hops IPA last weekend. So fucking good. Possibly best West Coast IPA out there.

Had a Blackberry cascade from the saltaire brewery, wasn't expecting it to be so nice.

 

[Jolemai]

Anyone tried the IPA prototype case from BrewDog?
