And in London in the expensive areas it was about £4, I remember complaining about it at the time, that is about £7ish today, which is what it costs in central London now really.
£10 a pint is some sort of way above inflation bullshit profiteering.

Numerous reason for the prices going up, including increased NI on all businesses, so not only Diageo but all the ingredients they have to buy, also at the pubs, the transport companies, etc, etc. Add to that the increase in minimum wage at all these businesses as well. the more links in the chain, the more the price will increase, as all these links have been hit by Labours we hate business

I paid £8 in a west London pub just before Christmas and have certainly heard of £10, unfortunately

The average price of a pint of Guinness this time last year was £5.18, just as a reality check.

Beamish and Murphy’s marketing department stirs in their decade long sleep. But no. Not today.

Why is Guinness so popular now? I know it’s always been a favourite but it’s wild how popular it’s become. Has it been in film or something or pushed by an influencer?

It’s weird how the brewery can make a pint can that sells for just over a quid in costcutter but the stuff they brew for the pubs needs to cost £10. I read once pub Guinness was laced with saffron and delivered in solid gold barrels, maybe they could look into that to reduce costs.

Well I brought four tinnies for 6 quid tonight so just don’t go to the pub?

I’ve already paid that in some craft pubs (unwittingly).

Oh well, if it was unaffordable people wouldn’t buy it and the business would go under. Can’t see that happening.

Landlord just making excuses now. Even in the pricey areas of London it’s like £7/£7.50.
And the bulk of that price comes from other expenses. Diageo ain’t hiking the prices that much
Good, let’s reshape the economy away from getting pissed, towards something useful.
Even a non alcoholic Guinness tin
Is £5.50 …..no thanks, O’Neill s can stick it thanks
I paid just shy of £8 for a Guinness recently in the South West.
Breweries have been taking the pissed for years. Not long until they take the tipsy.
Now I can see them doing this just to make an anti political pint.
We have to remember that some political opinions are shared online on Reddit but others are shared offline in pubs.
Pubs being shut down in those circles would have the impact of Reddit being shutdown 😕
How politically voiceless and alarmed would you be if that were to happened? How angry would you be and what protesty would you suddenly feel?
That’s why we get massive support for parties like reform because those political discussions are happening there not here.
Feel like a lot of bars are riding on the crest of popularity Guinness is having at the moment and using that to increase prices.
That is some crazy price inflation..
In 2000 average price of a pint was £2, that is £3.83 in todays money.
