Britain's most expensive pint revealed and it's NOT in London… where does your town rank?
A SMALL market town boasts the UK's priciest pints with pub-goers paying an average of £7. A beer in Witney in Oxfordshire — which used to have David Cameron as its MP — is now around 50p more expensive than in London. 1 Other places where it costs more than £6 for blowing the froth off a cold one include Brighton and Godalming in Surrey. The Pint Report, by Online Marketing Surgery, said: 'It's clear that prices in certain areas are well beyond the national average. "This suggests a noticeable divide in cost, depending on region, particularly in parts of London and the South East where higher living costs may be influencing prices." An Alliance Online spokeswoman said: 'The Welsh city of Wrexham is crowned the cheapest place in the UK for a beer. 'Famous for Wrexham AFC, headed up by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, their fans will be happy to know that they have access to bargain beer after a match.' Last month, Deadpool star Ryan, 48, unveiled a special 'bargain' beer to toast his club's promotion. A separate study found Wrexham is the cheapest for beer at £2 a pint, while the UK average now sits at £4.83. The cost of popular brands in the capital has also climbed, with a pint of Guinness reaching £6.45, Birra Moretti £7.17, and Camden Hells £7.05 since February. In contrast, the Midlands boasts the cheapest average pint in Great Britain, priced at £4.68. Tennent's lager is the most affordable option there at £3.50, followed by Carlsberg at £3.72. Meanwhile, Foster's and Greene King IPA are slightly pricier at £3.80 and £3.85, respectively. However, the survey revealed that pint prices in the Midlands increased by 5.15% between January and April, while London bucked the trend with a 1.22% decrease during the same period.
