Most places now your hard pressed to get a pint for that. Some places have beers of the month for $7.50 a pint. Usually it's a VB or a Carlton Draught. Sometimes they do a Carlton Mid or a Carlton Dry. I'm not as old as some but still hear stories from older blokes that say the remember when beer was 2 bucks a pint. It is a joke though that places can charge $13-15. I'm not one for many boutique beers which seems to be taking over everything. A mate told me that at the High Wycombe Tavern or the Boab they do pints of Stella (I think) for $4.50.

I can remember a middy at 0.15c.

Yeah, I can get a Carlton Dry for $7.80 at the Carine but not much else. Maybe an Emu or VB. But can't drink VB.

We are being ripped off something chronic with the price of beers. $7:00 a pint in Melb (even at NON pokies pubs) here its best part of $10:00, complete with shyte service.

Me too DF. It used to cost me 15c for a middy (the old size) and 20c for a game of pool. If you had a good night you drank free, if you had a bad night it was 15c for your beer, 20c for a game and 15c for a middy for the bloke that beat you. Cost me a bit till I learned to play the game a bit.

I got stuck into the Strongbows on ice today. Strangely enough, a 330ml bottle with a bit of ice filled a pint glass. Ok for $6

used to drink strongbow but went off it a bit.

Had a darts night once and had to drive to Perth from Karratha next day. Thought I'd drink cider instead of beer. Had 5 stubbies through the game and FMD I felt as though I had drunk a carton of beer next morning. Never drunk cider since that day!
