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.
The priciest and cheapest places in UK to buy a beer
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.

Grim change for Xbox owners sees millions of consoles bombarded with ads as players blast ‘hell no' after update
Is it too little, too late for the update? BOXING MATCH Grim change for Xbox owners sees millions of consoles bombarded with ads as players blast 'hell no' after update Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MILLIONS of Xbox owners have been left with a bad taste in their mouths after the latest console update bombarded them with ads. While the new updates fix some long-standing issues, the Xbox user experience has also been impacted. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Millions of Xbox users are left disgruntled by recent update on Xbox 360 Credit: Alamy User experience impacted Xbox 360 owners booted up their well-used consoles earlier this week to find a new update waiting to be installed. In the update, Microsoft had finally fixed the heavily complained-about bug where video game box art and thumbnails were stretched or distorted on the home screen, following a previous update in July 2024. What first felt like an exciting change for the retro console, has left some gamers disgruntled. 3 The new update has divided long-standing gamers While the box art issue was resolved, the update also added sizeable ads to showcase Xbox's newer products in its ever-growing roster. READ MORE TECH ULTRA COOL New CarPlay Ultra transforms your dash – and ditches the tech that drives us mad Adverts for the Xbox Series X and S consoles now litter the 360's dashboard alongside a QR code to encourage purchases. Functionality issues and user complaints The move by Microsoft to encourage users to upgrade was unwelcome. One Reddit user shared their frustration: "The fact that they're still hellbent on changing the Xbox 360's menu, 20 years after its original launch, is just really funny to me, and the most Microsoft thing that Microsoft could do." Another confused user said: "That's crazy that they'd update the dashboard to advertise the series consoles. Sales are doing so bad they had to go back to 360 to advertise." But it's not all bad, as some gamers welcomed the change. In contrast, one Reddit user said: "To be honest, I prefer this over the last 'update' to the dashboard. "Fair enough it's just advertising for their latest consoles, but it feels more 'alive' than the last one, if that makes sense. Plus, the game thumbnail isn't stretched anymore!" Another added: "At least the game art isn't stretched anymore." Time for change 3 Xbox have released nine different types of consoles Credit: Alamy It has been 20 years since the launch of the Xbox 360. And since 2005, over 84 million units have been sold, and its popularity and nostalgic value mean the console remains at the forefront of gamers' minds. As a result, gamers often return to the console to revisit their once favourite games, to take a trip down memory lane. The Sun has contacted Microsoft for a comment.
