Bulls Head Ravensthorpe, Carling @ 76p 1985, aged 17. At the time i was earning a pound an hour so i made it last.
Has to be served right though…it differs hugely from pub to pub, found if it wasn't chilled enough it was quite acidic. My uncle was a connoisseur and only drank it from the Foxham inn. When i say drink i mean drowned in the stuff.
Cracking pub that, went back recently.
My first pint? Mmm, bit naughty I think. I was a 17 yr old police cadet on our way back from an athletics meeting. In a personnel carrier, the Inspector stopped at the Durham Ox in Northallerton as he 'knew' the Landlord who treat us all (8 of us) to a beer in a private room.
Free beer! in uniform, under age! Can't say I enjoyed the taste much then.😁
Age 16 in the Top Alex, Southend. Whatever the Ind Coope bitter before John Bull was (Double Diamond?). About 50p from memory.
Tenents Super was the park bench favorite.
Had lunch at the Barge only a week or two ago.
Probably a pint of Directors at the Rainbow in Allesley. Cost no idea, less than £1
I remember it well - 'The Jolly Miller' on Queens Drive, nr West Derby Village sometime around Christmas 1979.
A pint of brown/bitter was around 30-35p IIRC- a half of Higsons best bitter and a bottle of Manns brown ale.
Lovely, and I still choose a dark beer when available.
Higsons p1ss as I fondly remember it. My old man used to bring a bottle of Mackies home for my mum at closing time.
The Musketeer in Banbury. Free as my sister worked behind the bar. Bass bitter. I think the going rate was about 80p a pint at the time.
About 1986… approx 95p or so I think….would've been for a pint of shit lager. No idea what pub.
1983 in the Mountblow bar , can’t remember exactly but definitely under a quid .
1975, a pint of Double Diamond for 22p.
The Concorde, local disco pub in Ilkeston Derbyshire.
When I was low on funds it would be Hardy & Hansons mild at 19p.
1shilling and 10 pence, Brew 10, Vikings Goole, Nov 1970, iirc it was Saturday Soul Night.
House draught lager at an Enlisted Man's Club at Camp Pendletion (USMC) California in June of 1966.
$0.10
