Whats the profit margin for pubs on a pint of beer/lager? Surely someone must be making a mint from a product where the main ingredient is water?

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

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

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.

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%
