    how silly indeed

    i think they should raise the prices which would reduce riff raff drinking on the streets.

    Is it not possible to bang up duty on off sales - thus curbing the under age cnuting drinking prob and alcoholics at home, but cut it on sales through public houses ? Thus encouraging pub use and a more controlled environment where the landlord can hook out teen chavs and winos ?

    Or has Tescos etc got that shower of fcuktards in Parliament in their pockets ?

    It's £2.10 in my local for a pint of Taddy lager. It's good stuff too, 4.5% and a real distinct flavour to it. It's not much more for their organic lager, while some of their bitters are considerably cheaper. I assume Sam Smiths incur the same duty as other brewers, so why is it so much cheaper? Is it really the tax that dictates the price?

    Duty on beer has gone up 45% in the last three years (I think), so it's the main contributing factor. The beer escalator also dictates that duty on beer goes up 2% ahead of inflation, so when the government announce that their holding duty on beer like they did at the last budget (George cnuting Osbourne) what they really means is it's gone up 2%.

    Sam Smiths is a different cattle of fish altogether. They have zero marketing spend so put absolutely everything in to price, which is why you see the benefit at your local

    It's just a tax on alcohol, whatever form it's in (different rates by category, like cider and beer).

    There is talk that we might follow Scotland in introducing minimum pricing, but that opens up a whole can of worms as all that will happen is other more premium breweries will just put their price up as well to distance themselves from the lower end products.
