Historical version 8 of Category Samuel Smith's (view current version)

A chain of brewery-owned pubs serving solely own-brand drinks, including spirits, and even down to juices, cola, and other soft drinks. The cider compares favourably to Strongbow, and makes a nice change. Real ale lovers often complain bitterly if asked to go to a Sam Smith's pub. A few of their bottled beers seem to be acceptable, though.

According to Wikipedia, all Sam Smith's beers are vegan.

Prices in Sam Smith's pubs are a lot lower than other pubs, and the prices seem to be standardised (in London, at least). One of their bitters is £1.78, their Extra Stout is £2.15, and their Wheat Beer is £2.70. Update March 2008: prices have perhaps been increased by 5%. However, prices are still significantly below other pubs' prices.
