London pub defends decision to charge £13.40 a pint!
We all know London bar prices are a joke but this pub Borough Market is taking the fucking piss. The Rake pub has recently come under fire after it was discovered they were charging £13.40 for a pint of Cloudwater DIPA, Citra & Amarillo.
I mean yeah, the pint is strong at 8.2% but no pint on earth is worth that much. Customers weren't too happy as they took to Twitter to express their dismay:
Despite the huge backlash, Richard Dinwoodie, co-owner of The Rake has defended the eye-watering price tag and said the speciality beer was like “a fine wine”.
We're not making a vast profit. We pay £130 for a 20 litre keg before VAT.
You can also try before you buy. Craft beer is an affordable luxury like quality wine or liquid lipstick.
We're quite up front with our prices and they're displayed on a giant TV screen.
We have other beers for less than £5.
Oh do fuck off sir! A fine wine? It's a fucking pint you utter minge! I certainly won't be visiting The Rake anytime soon.
