I tend to shy away from liquid yeast for similar reasons to yourself they are more expensive and need to be stored cold, and I find on the whole dried yeast give good results, But I will concede that on the occasions I have a fondness for Wyest London Ale, I‘ve also used Omega HotHead in a few batches of bitter and found it works rather well. In lower gravity bitters I do think that the yeast can make a real difference, and it can be worth the premium.The reason I asked is that,as mentioned,lots of breweries use dry yeast.
I'm keen to try liquid but I've no where near tried enough dried and not got the facilities to store yeast from liquid pitches..which makes it easier in the wallet!
I’ve also being looking over my credit card statement and thinking if I am willing to pay £3.80+ for a pint of cask ale in a pub why an I getting so worked up over the prospect of paying £7-£8 for a vial of yeast that will make 18 pints (I do 9L batches).
