Are they trying to tap into the women’s market? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha-acid Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 3 hours ago, Capt_Mainwaring said: 330. As I said a page or so ago, 4 packs of 330s in M and S and Tesco range between around £8 - 9. Sometimes a bit cheaper on offer. The price for Okells at less than £2 a can doesn't seem bad. So around £7.00 a pint for Okells, sounds like a success story 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesde Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 You really think instead of 330ml it would be better to say 0.580719 of a pint Debatable 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be better to say a pint or half a pint and quote the equivalent in metric🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! Think of all the European brewers in our market. You don’t ask for a half litre or a litre of Carlsberg in your local hostelry. Yes I know it’s probably brewed under license in the UK but is still originates from Denmark ( I believe) And it tastes like cats …. but that’s a different issue. How is maintaining traditional measures isolationist? Every country has their own traditions which should be respected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is maintaining traditional measures isolationist? Every country has their own traditions which should be respected I agree in some ways, but it is expensive to have to label and fill bottles /cans in different ways for different markets. Draught beers are different in that they can be retailed in whatever size measures are legal in different jurisdictions . Pints,or litres or whatever. Although cask / keg sizes do vary from producer to producer it doesn't matter as the size of the measure it is sold in is the determining factor . Pints,halves,thirds,litres etc etc Barrels of beer in the UK are still measured in gallons (a barrel being 36 gallons)and cask sizes being based on that. 9gallons, 18,or 72 Unlike Europe which uses litres. So British tradition has survived for the home market 🇬🇧 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Mainwaring Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Had a 4 pack of Okell's Nectar from Tesco tonight. Beat the expensive 440 tins hands down. Good to see a local brew in a big supermarket chain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet somehow £6.30 in Tesco Douglas! Must be all the extra shipping costs to get it up South! XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
