s01e01: The price of a pint

September 11, 2017

For our very first episode we tackle the big question - why does beer cost so much at the pub?
Joining us at The Malthouse are financial journalist Alex Tarrant from Interest.co.nz and Stacey Walsh, co-owner of several Wellington bars including Little Beer Quarter.
Over a few tasty beverages we discuss why you'll pay more for "craft" beer and whether it's warranted, debate if bar owners and brewers are ripping us off, and break down the latest government data that shows just how much more we are paying for our beer.
Finally, we try and figure out how we can steal the job of the statistician whose job it is to travel the country visiting pubs to monitor the price of a pint.
