Me & The Half Pint - My Entry For The Monomad Challenge

avatar

Inflation is getting brutal. In Japan pints have almost doubled at my favorite watering hole. Pint's used to run about $7-9, now they are $12 - 14! Even at $7 I would usually only have 1 so now I'm forced to downsize to the half pint.

The pub was practically empty the other night I went and staff was half of what it usually is. I suspect people just aren't willing to pay $12 -14 for a pint.

Here is the original picture for reference.

The pub is called Good Beer Faucets in Shibuya, Tokyo. The beer I was sampling was a session IPA from a Japanese brewer. I forgot to take not of the brewery's name as the beer wasn't very special. It did help me wash away my concerns about spending so much money, alone, on a mediocre beer though!

I know inflation is hitting everyone, everywhere, not just me, here. I hope we all come out on the other end better off than we are. Hang in there, work hard and remember taxation is theft!

Have you ever been to the Vector Breweries place in Shinjuku. It was superb. I would love to return to Japan. Absolutely loved the place

No, never heard of it. That is one of the beautiful things about Tokyo, there are almost endless places to go. Maybe I will have to check them out now that my favorite place is out of my budget.
