I was in Harvey's shop yesterday in Lewes and was astonished to
find such low prices for their bottled beer - Blue Label for example
is 74p for 33ml plus a small bottle deposit (that takes me back). 
At lunchtime I'd paid 2.95 for a bottle of said beer at a 
Brighton restaurant. 

Is this normal for brewery shops? If so I'll stop off at Fullers
if they have one as I'm always passing.

Jennings is worth a visit, especially if you have a shareholders
card. They still let us use ours, even though it is W & D now, last
time we were in!

I can't remember the prices ... sorry

But they are even better if the bottles are near sell-by date ;o)

I think it is probably more of a comment on the prices in restaurants.

Not always.

I've seen bottled beer cheaper in the supermarket than when on sale at a 
visit to the brewery it came from!

Those Harvey's prices sound good though.

Ah, after drinking one in a  couple of gulps I've noted they are 275ml not
330ml
Still, 74p is still not bad.
