The cheapest beers in the UK revealed after price of a pint rises 4.3%. Article

 

More rounds to the pound in Herefordshire - Another good reason to support local pubs.

 

It’s enough to leave southern beer drinkers frothing - for the price of a pint is 82p dearer than the north.

 
The brew-ha-ha is revealed today by booze bible The Good Pub Guide which found bargain beer hunters should head for the rural county of Herefordshire where locals pay just £3.10 for a pint.

Herefordshire - one of the quietest English counties
 
But rip-off prices in London and Berkshire mean drinkers are being hammered by a 20% difference for their favourite tipple, splashing out £3.92, while beer fans in Sussex pay £3.66 and Surrey pub-goers hand over £3.63.

I am not a regular drinker but I do like a pint now and then. £3.10 is a good price for a pint but I would need to drive to get there, which I obviously won't do. Still it is good to see Herefordshire in the news for something positive that could go someway to help local pubs and restaurants.

Once again Colin another great image and ya right as prices go we don't do badly.

I was down at the Saracens,Symonds Yat the other day which was absolutely stuffed but I think I may have paid more for a pint.

Where is the Mirror getting its prices from? Five years ago? I can't think of any pub in Herefordshire that charges £3.10 a pint or less, apart from Wetherspoons.  When I'm in the city I often like to visit the Lichfield Vaults, which is a very nice pub, but you'll pay a damn sight more than £3.10.

 

The South East  figures seem well skew whiff as well. I've paid a fiver a pint in West London and Clapham before now. Even less trendy pubs I reckon you're talking four quid or therabouts.

What about The Queens on Broad Street? The board outside seems to advertise very cheap ale prices. But there is a direct correlation between their prices and the type of clients sitting inside.

 

For what it's worth I paid £3.80 for a pint of draught 'Lawless' lager at The Shack Revolution this afternoon. But they are not setting their prices at a point that would attract the wasters tho.

Yeah Roger, I've been there once. Crap beer, crap clientele.  Actually the Black Lion do a pretty decent sub-three pound pint. Did the Mirror visit there when they were conducting their survey though? Somehow I doubt it.

Three pound for a pint of carling at the snooker club in Coningsby St where I go.

Apart from that I usually on drink at home thesedays (occasionally!) as it is affordable to do so then.

That is not beer, that is mass produce muck. :)

 

Beer in hand sells beer and so does the Barrels, now that is decent beer for a good price.
