Pub visitors have reacted to the news that the price of a pint has more than doubled since 2000 in the UK. The British Beer and Pub Association estimated that the average current cost of a pint is £4.07.
As the cost of living increases, so does the price of a pint in our local pubs. It was estimated that a pint of beer was just £1.90 in the year 2000 although that increased to £2.81 in 2010.
One person wrote: "Good. The brewing industry has been undervalued and kicked to the curb on price for years. £4 a pint should be the low end. The reason pints are ‘over priced’ is beer duty, the absurd rates the government sets, higher than any of Europe."
