Next time you're in one of these fine establishments have a chat with the landlord. He will tell you: he has no central warehouse to store and order several million litres of one beer a year or three in advance like a supermarket (oddly enough you get a fair old discount). Pubs are usually pushed into X amount of barrelage per month so they would sooner sell you that . They have to transport bottles it's not very efficient. They have to store all of the empty bottles and get rid of. They take up loads of fridge space. Pay the staff to deal with the bottles (empty and full) . If bottles were cheaper than draught I'm sure then general masses would be drinking many more bottles than pints. And in some cases it's not actually the same stuff on draught as it is in a bottle/can draught is usually better as it's normally fresher and is delivered at the correct temperature, so unless your fridge is calibrated ..
You're absolutely right packaging makes a difference but it's still Kronenbourg inside whether it's in a bottle can or paper cup. When you're buying garden party level larger I find it better to buy on price per litre. Stuff like Alhambra and other special lagers you don't get much choice about packaging. I don't hear many people shouting about the best can/bottle of Kronenbourg they've ever had.

But thanks for pointing out that I wrote the word cans...

I have a mate who only drinks from bottles at home not cans. Probably due to the fact he drinks from them and I agree drinking from a bottle feels better than drinking from a can, but I've given him a little secret too, use a glass and you will not notice any difference from the fridge if it's poured into a glass first before drinking.
But amazed myself how some naively think that what goes into a more expensive bottle must be better quality than that what goes into a cheaper can. :smile:

I thought we were buying it for the stuff inside, so your point is kinda useless...
No you're paying to be in an establishment with staff, music, ability to hold more people than your living room etc etc So again your analogy is kinda useless....

Technically the Asda 3x 10 cans for £21.00 is better value per litre. not voted either way.

cans are nearly always cheaper than bottles so your point is kinda useless....
in the same sort of way that a pint at a pub is more expensive than a pint in a shop. its the same stuff, right?

I was buying 15 bottles @ Sainsbury's for £9 not so long ago so this seems a good deal to me. Heat Added
Ps. It just don't taste the same out of cans IMO

this is the point i was trying to make, obviously badly.
i much prefer beer out of bottles so the small price premium for bottles is worth it IMO, especially when it's nice weather and i can just grab a few, but each to their own.

No same for me , I never liked bottles when I was younger, just jumping on the band wagon but now I usually buy bottles as it does taste different I suppose in the same way that a pint tastes more refreshing to me than a can, again personal preference.
