📣 PUBS ARE SO EXPENSIVE: PART 2! 📣

Following on from part 1 post…

A number of people still queried “why pubs are so expensive”…

And a follower, Kyle Michael, has kindly allowed me to share his post below to explain things a little more!

So here goes…

🤔 What is so hard for some to understand?

🤷‍♂️ Pubs are NOT expensive, the perception of cost is being distorted by the lack of disposable income, not the price!

🏛️ Blame that on government, not the publican who has cut and cut and cut his profit to keep going!

⚖️ Let’s compare beer prices to wages!

Prices used below are the average in April each year, together with the minimum wage at the same time.

Year Pint Min wage %

1998 1.87 3.00 62.3
2000 1.99 3.60 55.2
2005 2.41 4.85 49.6
2010 2.94 5.93 49.6
2015 3.44 6.40 53.7
2020 3.72 8.72 42.6 **
2023 4.56 10.41 43.8
2024 4.77 11.44 41.6
2025 5.17 12.21 41.6

** pubs shut in April 2020 so used July figure, but VAT had been reduced so pint price was artificially lower.

📣 If pubs had stayed with the same % as in 1998, an average pint would now be £7.73!

🚨 YEP: SEVEN POUND SEVENTY THREE! 🚨

👌 Time to adjust your minds and expectations and keep things real, or you simply won't have any pubs left.
