Great, and how much of that goes to support the club?

If you knew how much the alchemist and Greek St paid for their ale I can guarantee they are making more money per pint than the club, they get there's real cheep, so you keep going to Greek St and make their owners even wealthier rather than support your club.

Going to Con club or elsewhere is not necessarily disloyal to the club . I go to Con club with clear conscience as I am , as I have been for 50 years, aTrinity season ticket holder.
Plus we generally buy refreshments at half time in the ground.
Also spend considerable amount each season on Trinity clothing.
Also subscribe to Trinity TV.

We tried to compete with the con club one season on price. Complete disaster. Revenue went down alarmingly.
And nobody is forcing anyone to buy anything. If you do great, all profits back into the club. If you don’t, no problem, life goes on.

I don't mind folk drinking at the Con club or anyone else if they have always done so/are members/prefer the ambience - however I do think it disloyal if its purely based on price, that's just cheap imho excuse the pun.

I dont go for the disloyal thing.

Just as it's up to the Con club to make people to want to go there, which they seem to do by selling cheap ale, it's also up to the club to make BV a more preferable option, which they can do in a number of different ways.

Personally I prefer a proper pint in a glass, rather than electric ale in a plastic pot. If that makes me dis loyal, I'll have to live with it.

Having said that, Snowies ale, even in a plastic pot was excellent

it depends on loads of variables, start with what I used to brew on a 5 BBL which would produce around 18/19 casks, brewing straight after saved on heating for the next brew which reduces costs, had I been bigger 10 or 12 BBL cost again would reduce dramatically so its not always what you think plus there's the pubs overheads
