How much was a pint when you could first drink?

[Pevenseagull]

62p Courage Mild (underage at the The British Queen, Willingdon 1985, pool table was 10p)

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

May be repeating myself here but in the early seventies I used to go to the Whitehawk pub with one pound.
I could have four pints of lager or five pints of mild
Had some hard b#####d block my BLACK MK2 CORTINA in once
I fronted him up and he moved his brand new CAPRI out of the way phew

I'm thinking around 25p in the mid-70s. Mind you the beer was so foul in lots of Watney-type pubs in those days, I probably had lager more often. Made my nose fizz.

 

[Gary Gurr]

1s 10d when I was 16

Pint of mild in the New Inn in Eastbourne was 1s 3d, so long ago!!!

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

£1.15 for a pint of litten ale or around £1.75 for a pint of fosters then when I went to Uni £1.05 for carlsberg

 

[spongy]

About £1.80ish I think circa 1996/7. And that was for Stella.

Used to go clubbing at the Event on a Thursday and it was 80p a pint of Hofmeister and £1 for bottles of Dacoda. Used to get hammered and stil be able to get home on £15. My tab in the pub nowadays is about £35 jus for me on a session. Not including the missus and without food

 

[vegster]

Anyway 30 p........ You must have been legal age by then ?

Zzzzzzzz...

 

[Questions]

Zzzzzzzz...

Oh Shandy Bass out of the bottles. Yes that was quite expensive.

 

[el punal]

1/8 in old money ( that's one shilling and eight pence ) or about 9 pence for you newbies! Those were the days when you could get hammered for a quid and still have change at the end of the night.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

I think it was about 70p for a pint of Whitbread Tankand around 1980

 

[The Brighton Bear]

22p for a pint of mild in 1975

 

[FamilyGuy]

2x pints of Lager and 1x pint of Bitter = 55p

Seems ridiculous now but we objected when it went over 50p ... about 1969 I believe.

 

[Hillian1]

92p, Kings Head Cuckfield.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

£1 here

 

[seagurn]

32p Holsten export for a pint in the prince regent in uckfield and 10 No6 where 34p or if you felt flash bensons 36p.

 

[sams dad]

About 1s 10d ( 9p ) for me in 1969 , although it was 2s ( 10p ) a pint in the Top Rank Suite. Robbing *******s!

 

[brakespear]

About a quid I think when I was 18 (1988). Mostly though people were buying litre bottles of Grunhalle or Merrydown for £1.10 and going round each others houses or down the beach (this was in Cornwall).

 

[chez]

£1.60 for a pint of Kronenbourg in The Boulevard down the bottom of West Street.

 

[HOFNSKIN]

Lager was 2 shillings a pint and 6d for lime.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

55p
