The Cheapest Pint in Hertford

We all have a good idea where you can get the most expensive pint in Hertford, so I thought it would be more helpful if we could find out bar the Wetherspoons pub,where does the cheapest beer. I'll start it off with the Masters House as that is the only place in a long time that I have checked the price of a pint. Amstel £3.40 a pint.

I would give you money to NOT have to drink a pint of AK if that helps [:p]

Macks AK is not that bad as a session beer, I have had a lot worse. Back to the subject, like the Haigh the Ram also does AK for £2.50.

When was the last time you had a pint of AK ? Its a totally different drink to the mank they served up 15-20 years ago , although people still seem to roll out the same old clichés , usually because a local brewery is not exotic enough for them and nothing to do with the taste of what is now a very drinkable real ale .

The cheapest pint must be in Sugar Hut... Thursday you can get 6 pints for £10 Fridays it's any drink for £2.50 and Saturdays is now £19 for all you can throw down you're neck all night long ! Oh to be young again maybe the oldun's can take it over as it's now so cheap. We would just have to remember to leave quietly [:D]

Agreed. The quality also seems to have been much more consistent since they switched production to the new micro brewery.

Admittedly it was about 8 years ago. My dad used to sweear by it as a cure for constipation when he was suffering after chemotherapy [8D]

A friend of mine swore that it was the cause of his glandular fever! I also remember walking home along Hartham Lane late one evening and coming across one of the local 'characters' - now departed -stood in the street and literally singing the praises of AK towards the brewery; reminiscent of the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet! If only I could remember the words which were quite well thought out and not just a football style chant!!

Wouldn't have been to the tune of "Londonderry Air" AKA "Danny Boy" by any chance?

Buzz - it could well have been. It was a long time ago but I remember it making me laugh at the time. Talking of 'Danny' it was his brother that was singing.

The more AK I drink, the more money you give me? If so, can we arrange a time and place, please? Anyone else care to join in?

Years ago when i was a lad, i shared a bedroom with my two elder brothers who both drank AK. Not a pleasent atmospher (if you know aht i mean) But did have a pint of AK a few weeks ago anf it wasn't bad. Don't know about Hertfords cheapest pint but went to Covent Garden last week (must be one of most expensive pints in UK £4)[V]
