International beers are more expensive, but still cheaper than imported draught beer in London bars.Ben Viveurhttp://www.benviveur.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280044379124455706.post-12800943052026084042016-08-04T15:34:44.808+01:002016-08-04T15:34:44.808+01:00Thanks!

Soo, around what for a 1/3 pint? I haven't had a pint in London since 2006 or UK since 2008, so I've no idea what's the going rate. :)Tuopillinen (Jouni Koskinen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13513767618791045187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280044379124455706.post-72008389158140961032016-08-04T00:30:06.147+01:002016-08-04T00:30:06.147+01:00Very nice useful guide, even for those who attend ...Very nice useful guide, even for those who attend regularly.

If I was to update one thing based on last year, it's that the American cask bar now seems to be a bit more 'rationed', with some beers being held back for the latter days.<br /><br />This makes point 5 a little less salient, and point 4 rather more so, particularly if you're after one specific US beer.Benjamin Nunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12735110277517005667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280044379124455706.post-21993298602891443242014-08-14T13:26:37.449+01:002014-08-14T13:26:37.449+01:00Good stuff, though I have noticed there seems to b...Good stuff, though I have noticed there seems to be a lot more seating this year and people are kind enough to share tables, following your advise.
