On avarage say a beer pint will cost you £2 in pub. well my guess is that it might only cost as little as 30p to make. But including every other expenditure i’d say profit is about 40%
The cost of making it is around 25p a pint. But they have to pay their people, pay for transport, pay taxes and then the local pub or tavern has to make a profit too.
If you think they charge too much, go ahead and open your own pub and charge less. Competition may be good for all of us.
having been in the licensed retail trade for a number of years i can confirm that the profit margin on a pint of beer is between 15 and 35%
depending whether its bitter lager mild etc

home brew costs about 20p, so with economy of scale i woudl think commercial brew is similar or less.
Most of the cost is tax.
its normal for retail outlets to have a markup of 225%, i doubt if beer is as much because of the tax situation
S i guess all i’m saying is i expect the in-price to be more than £1 / pint

about 7pence a lot of tax and between 35% to 45% for the pub
