Nexf day off I’m going to cycle there and have a few tasters.

Good man. Be extra careful though if you cycle in via the winding road from Blythburgh into Southwold, tricky for cyclists. Maybe easier to take the road through Wangford, still tricky but a mite safer.
Some mates and I cycled there from Ipswich donkey's years ago and decided to have a pint of Adnams in each of the Adnams outlets (pubs plus hotels), there were 13 of them back then - some have now closed. I hasten to add we had B&B in the Sole Bay Inn and didn't attempt to ride until the next day !

Rob, Try the Adnams Jack Brand dry hopped lager or their Earl Grey Pilsner. Both are Ambrosial.

I seem to be quite fortunate for libation on the Essex Riviera, Leigh On Sea.

The most expensive here is along the sea front in The old Town . The Peterboat, Mayflower, Crooked Billet and the Smack Inn knock out Five Grain Lager at £4.95, Spitfire Lager at £4.80, Camden Hells £5.10, Moretti at £5.05 , estrella £4.80 and Pilsner Urquell for £4.4o. The Boatyard have just started selling Offshore pilsner from Cornwall for £4.95 and Madri exceptional lager for the same price. Both of those beers give me the Derek and Clive Fackin' Horn.

I don't drink Peroni other then the Red Label version , but it sells foR about £4.50 high street, £5 in the old town.

My Local, The Broadway pub , offers Staropramen, Amstel, Hop House, San Miguel for £3.80 to £4.20 maximum. The Mariners and The Sarah Moore flog all the Armitage shanks lager such as Fosters, Carling, Budweiser, Heniken, Coors for around £4 a pint maximum. The Sarah Moore also sells kirin ichiban on draft for For £4.20 max. Best lager for me is the Meantime London Lager in the ten green bottles at £4.75 a pint.

Magic.

Nice one dezzar!, The grand hotel is long gone but the Broker is still going strong. Leigh is sill a great place for a drink but the old town is a nightmare at weekends.

Wait till the first game of the season. You'll likely be charged a tenner for a warm beer in plastic glass in The Blue And White club. LOL

Subsequent to my earlier post saying I had seen little increase in cost, I've now found some hefty increases. A pint on the Raven today 20p more at £4.80 and a pint of quite low gravity ale in the Mitre in Richmond a fiver.
I feel the five quid mark might be a sticking point. I'm OK with a sub £5 pint - after all, it's been a tough tome for pubs.

I remember when we all said that we won't ever pay £1 for a pint!

I remember when you could get six pints, a packet of cheap fags and a box of matches and still have enough change from a quid for the bus fare home.

I can't actually remember what a pint cost when I first bought one, but it might have been 2 shillings (10 pence).

I do recall that when I had my first car (1969) I spent £1 per week on petrol & that was exactly 3 gallons.

I worked in the pub trade when a pint reached £1 & trade dropped considerably. That is, for about 2 weeks!

Apologies for hijacking this thread.
When I saw Wangford mentioned it put me in mind of this guy who I saw on a few occasions back in the 80’s. Always a great gig.
I never knew Wangford was a place until today!
A very interesting character, he’s still on the go apparently.

He actually came from Wangford Suffolk, hence the name. I've seen him play a number of times, always good fun. I believe his main occupation is a doctor.
