For the record, anyone who thought they had a Brewfist Czech Norris in ATG up until 9pm last night was actually drinking a Brewfist Caterpillar - they had the taps labelled the wrong way round til I told them...worrying that everyone before me couldn't tell an (awful!) imperial pils from a (delicious) rye based pale ale!

Same reason why the GP of almost all goods falls as the size of the order increases.[/quote:23jknsu1]
I'm aware of bulk discounts / economies of scale. Your first post tried to justify the price differential on fixed cost, not you're justifying it on volume ordered. Which one is it? Is the GP on a large spirit less than on a regular measure?

Gold star, even if imperial pils isn't a real style <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->
Back to the topic at hand though, there is price gouging going on, vote with your wallet. Support Nama and our government and reduce your taxes by buying Sweetmans at €4 a pint!
Back to the real topic, I think that 1/2 and 2/3 pints should be charged in line with the pint price, maybe not an exact scale but something like:
1.000 pint €5
0.500 pint €2.60 (€2.70 wouldn't anger me personally)
0.667 pint €3.45 (€3.55 would be fine.
But when I'm a bar I'll treat ye as badly as you let the rest treat you!

A fixed cost is just that. If I sell €1k or €0 my fixed costs remain the same. I'm at a loss as to how one can justify different selling price of different volumes of the same beer on fixed costs. Maybe you can explain?
