You're having a laugh 140 TL for a 40 TL tin of strongbow at cafe George . Girne !! IDrink prices are cheaper in the UK.

Re: £4 a pint
My point was they are purchased at 40 TL or less and selling for 140tl. Why is the disparity between selling and buying so much bigger than a carlsberg for instance.

Re: £4 a pint
It’s a great point Susie,I’ve wondered that myself. Certainly the boxes of Strongbow don’t last long in Supreme!! Maybe the bars all buy them ?

Re: £4 a pint
I assume it's because of their outgoings, maybe in a different currency too but I know I rather have 10 customers drinking at 100tl than 1 at 140tl.susiesusie wrote: ↑Wed 20 Dec 2023 9:05 amMy point was they are purchased at 40 TL or less and selling for 140tl.

For price conscious cider drinkers, Shah have Thatchers Haze & Sweet 440ml tins reduced to 25tl, short shelf life left.

Re: £4 a pint
Ha ha - I've never even looked at a 'Best Before' date on alcohol...
...although I'm pretty sure that none has ever lasted long enough to go out of date!
Edit: I just did a sweep, & am currently diligently employed ensuring that this terrible scenario does not occur
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
If anyone has any (alcoholic) products that are due to 'expire', I am happy to introduce my FREE collection and - er - 'Disposal' Service.
I intend to ask member Brinsley to assist in the 'Disposal' element of the operation, due to his raising awareness of the issue...

Re: £4 a pint
I agree about the excessive markup, it's the same with Guiness and John Smiths etc. in most places compared with standard beers.
I think cider was under £3 in Weatherspoons the other day, not a cider drinker myself so not certain.....I was drinking Worthington's at £1.90 a pint. I know it adds nothing to the issue at hand - just thought I'd mention it
I did pay 180tl for a small Carlsberg recently at Cratos - never again hopefully!!
Alktinkya hotel provides a lovely log fire in a cosy lounge just off the foyer and it was 85tl for a Carlsberg 50cl. if you fancy somewhere different.

Re: £4 a pint
I guess the £4.20 I just paid for 1/2 pint at The Compass Ale House in Gravesend, Kent, puts all this into perspective. To be fair, it was a) in the UK and b) a decent DIPA Craft Ale from Northern Monk brewery, "The Prodigal Son" at 8.2%.
