  Has anyone got a pint for less than a fiver - outside of a weatherspoons - for the past 10 years? And, no, I don’t live in London.

    Yeah, plenty. Very much depends where you are in the country; whether it’s a cool bar, an old man pub, or a spoons; and if you’re going for a fancy pint or generic mass-produced lager.

      You are almost certainly correct

  Pint is around 0.5 liter?

  How much does beer cost in supermarkets in England?

    Just about, 568ml to be exact.

    It depends on the beer and the supermarket, but it’s a lot cheaper to buy beer in supermarkets.

    Take this 500ml bottle of Peroni in Tesco - it’s £2.75 (or 3 for £6 with loyalty card) - in a pub, 500ml of Peroni will probably be roughly £5, depending where you are in the UK.

      So the price is just around twice as much? Hm. It looks like you have seriously high beer prices overall, not just pubs trying to set some crazy coefficients.
