      I would, but I'm not keen on them sneaking the fact that it's a subscription that you're signing up to on the last page where you enter your payment details. Could've done without that.

    • @9wowable
      @9wowable Місяць тому +19

      used them about 3-4 years ago. you have to ring to cancel the subscription, and the customer services team is quite unfriendly and will make you wait on hold for awhile. beers are also pretty naff for "craft brewers" and are usually end-of-line, unsold stock or short dated.
      it's worth it if you can be arsed dealing with them, otherwise avoid.

      Spoons basically buys all the beer that has hardly any shelf life left, so get it dirt cheap as the brewery just wants to get rid of it quick. As a result it never tastes quite as nice as the 'fresh' beer and sometimes can be pretty rank as it's on the turn.

    When I used to drink, in the very early 1980s, the average cost of a pint was £0.80p, then it crawled up to a £1.00. It then got to about £1.60 and I thought that was okay. When it got to £2.00 a pint, I didn't pay that, I just would drink at the pubs' 'happy hours' times, which was cheaper. When happy hour was done away with, I just drank at home. Many years went by and I was shocked to find that the price of a pint had jumped to £4.00! Now in some places, it's £6.00 to £8.00 a pint and people don't mind paying for that.
    I'm back to drinking in the pub again, but only in Wetherspoons. You can all say what you want about Wetherspoons, but I think its beer is good and the prices are correct (and affordable) for the time we live in.

    Here in Thailand, in a bar a large 600ml bottle of beer will cost anything from about ฿140 (~£3.10) upwards. But... most bars if they know you will charge around ฿100 (~£2.25) for a 'local discount'. That's still more expensive than some of the of the places you found in the UK. FYI beer is heavily taxed here, for the same price as a large bottle of Leo you can buy half a bottle of reasonably decent thai rum.

    My local spoons in Zone 4 London used to do pints of Carling for £1.98. Closed down now which is a shame for my wallet but a blessing for the highstreet, was a bit of a shitole. I think you can still get a sub-£2 ale at the Spoons in Muswell Hill (also Zone 4, really posh area, not sure why it’s there).
    Generally Spoons can bugger off though, would rather support a cheap-ish independent and just drink less.
