Was up there recently and the Whitewater beers were £1.89, St. Peter's and the Black Sheep beers were only £1.59. All of which are over €4 in Sweeneys.

Even proper beers like Bud Light and Carlsberg work out at about 80c a can.

Ridiculous price differential for the sake of 100km of travel.

The question is why everyone else is selling it so dear.
