Today in @thetimes.com I break down the price of a pint and explain why it costs so much. Over half of all job losses in the last year have been in hospitality - pubs need help. www.thetimes.com/life-style/f...
How much is too much for a pint?
The £5 barrier was breached long ago and at some London bars you could pay £10. When will drinkers just stop buying beer? And what do struggling landlords want to see in the budget?

Lovely to meet up with a couple of mates in @oldecottage.bsky.social earlier - Unfortunately the Bass was on its last legs (damn, I'd been looking forward to having a pint all day). Second pint was the Wye Valley-HPA, which was lovely. Fantastic pub. 👏 @shitchester.bsky.social

Ways stout and porter are commanding more attention
Stout and porter are currently on trend and, as beer styles go, they’ve been overlooked for far too long. Jessica Mason reports.

Stop 5 Chester and perfectly located before the train home - The Olde Cottage for a pint of Wye Valley HPA. About as good as you can get cask beer. I'm not sure the fire needed to be lit but it certainly added to the atmosphere
