Wot no souvenir glass, How much a pint, no included ferry ticket? (see Platting v Rigg ffi)

Yes there's a souvenir glass included in entry price, also beer vouchers for CAMRA members, but no ferry ticket though - we're *so* mean!

Apologies I must have missed your Q about prices - I think they start at about £2.20-£2.40 for the lower abv, going up to - £3.60-£4.00 for the very strongest/rarest beers like the Thornbridge green-hopped Halcyon.

Still no ferry ticket though :~p

For a half?! (the souvenir taster glass is a half pint) I do hope that's a typo!

If it really is 2.20 for a half, I'll be selling my ticket at the door and going to the Stork which does *pints* for 1.65 in happy hour...

Thankfully, prices ranged from 1.20 to 1.60 for a half. Sampled many different delicious beers and came away happy.
