That wasn't in the last year though :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15718#post-203763 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 09:32:12 +0000 SRD 203763@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I bought 3 pints of very nice local beer at the Guildford last night and was indeed a bit taken aback when it came to £13 </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15718#post-203760 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 08:08:12 +0000 gembo 203760@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Price list often displayed in bars of my west coast youth on a black plastic board that had parallel grooves to slot letters and numbers into, either white red or yellow digits and letters. One of theses pubs has been sold by the owner as his son is a dentist? The owner inherited from his father but life goes on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15718#post-203757 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 01:17:45 +0000 Cyclingmollie 203757@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They weren't displaying a price list which is illegal if I recall my bar work days (Skol or Castlemain XXXX was the lager choice where I worked, Tetley's bitter if you wanted to go upmarket).</p> <p>I'm talking about the Assembly Roxy not Summerhall btw. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15718#post-203745 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 21:01:32 +0000 SRD 203745@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@newtoit seconded </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15718#post-203729 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 17:46:51 +0000 newtoit 203729@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Cyclingmollie</p> <p>Depends what the beer was!</p> <p>Just as with wines and any other drink, there is a whole range of beer from the swill to the extremely exclusive...</p> <p>I have no problem paying £4.50 for a beer from a small or local producer.
