Location of Britain’s cheapest pint where a lager costs just £2.90 is revealed… so where does your area rank?
LIVERPUDLIANS may no longer have a chance to moan when its their turn to buy the lager rounds - as a study reveals their city is the cheapest place in Britain for a pint.
Lager fans in Liverpool fork out an average of £2.90, according to the , almost £1.60 less than Londoners who are forced to pay £4.50.
Sheffield drinkers are reported to pay around 10p more than their Liverpool counterparts - as a pint of lager costs an average of £3 in the city.
Highlighting London's poor ranking in the study, Gareth Brown, marketing manager at Thames cruise liner bateaux London, who commissioned the study, reportedly said: "Cities like Brighton, Liverpool, and York are growing into real drinking hot spots for the average beer drinker.
“And each of these cities are now seeing many microbreweries and craft pubs opening up.
“While London didn’t perhaps perform as well as we expected in the data, the city still boasts the greatest variety of pub and entertainment offerings in the UK."
According to reports, The Rake pub in London Bridge has been selling a pint for a whopping £13.40.
But operators insisted the price was only for the speciality beer, Cloudwater’s North West Double IPA, which had to be ordered through a distributor.
Edinburgh, Brighton and Oxford are among the most expensive locations, with customers paying just over £4.
But even though Brighton lager fans fork out £4.25 for a pint, the area has the highest pub-to-population ratio in the UK.
