you blokes have lost me,your talking now of Beers I have never heard of,under the tree of a Friday Arvo,the favourite ale seems to change on a weekly basis.

When we were young,Ya only had a few choices, or go thirsty,these days you have so much choice,but boy don't know how Ya can afford to drink,last over the counter Pint I bought was only 80 cents and we thought that was daylight robbery

coopers. 

Or if in Canada, it's Alexander Keiths India Pale Ale.

Imported from Nova Scotia. A favourite while I lived there. On a recent trip though I found it a little disappointing compared to the James Squire equivalent I have subsequently developed a taste for.

Was that a South Australian pint or a real pint?  Last time I was in SA they didn't know that a pint was more than 425ml!!!

80c would have been expensive back then (30 years IIRC). I did research back in 1992, and $1 put under the bed in 1970 would only buy the equivalent of 12c in 1992.  So if inflation and wage growth remained the same, then your 80c would equate to about $12 today!!!

I still reckon it's pretty good. But then, I'm a Keith too.
It's actually part of the Labatts stable these days.

Indeed. That's why they say those that like it, like it a lot.

The pubs we went to had the 20 fl oz Pints, didn't have to have many of them to set you off, two or three of them would be great on the way home and a few king browns to top the night off before bed

So what is the fluid oz/ml for this pint?

in my neck of the woods a pint = 20 fl oz or 568 ml

Last time I was in SA I ordered a pint of beer and got a 425ml glass!! That is not a pint!!

[2i30s]

in Victoria a glass of beer is around  $3.80c,a pot is $4.20c and a schooner is around $5.00.    i wouldn't have any idea what a pint would cost down here because I've never seen them sold.  my approximate prices are from signs I've seen in the pub whilst dropping in for a meal with the misses,i usually only drink a pot or two with my meal.
