UK Edition
Mapping the price of a pint: where is Britain's cheapest beer?
Do you sense that the price of your precious pint has crept up? You'd be right.
The average cost of a pint of beer in the UK is now £3.46, which is 15p higher than last year.
Approximately 52p per pint is beer duty (tax), based on a 5% abv lager, though this differs based upon the strength.
But how does the price of a beer differ accross the UK? And which country serves the cheapest pint?
Unsurprisingly, the most expensive place to buy a beer is in London, with an average price of £3.92 per pint.
Herefordshire is where you should head if you want a cheap drink, with an average price of £3.10 for a pint.
The difference between the cheapest and the most expensive is a not inconsiderable 82p.
Looking at Europe as a whole, you may be surprised to see that London falls around midway between the cheapest and most expensive beers.
You can buy a pint for under a pound in the Czech Republic, with the average one costing just 72p.
This is dwarfed by staggering prices in Scandinavia, with Sweden leading the field. In Stockholm it costs you, on average, £5 to quench your thirst.
