Customers have been warned they could soon pay more for a pint after the value of the pound slumped.
Paul Davies, chief executive officer of the Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company, said the dramatic dip in the pound signalled a "worrying" problem for the beer sector. It comes despite the fact that the pound has slightly recovered - but still remains at its lowest level in decades.
Experts warned that the pound's plunge towards being equal to the US dollar could send the cost of goods to rise even higher than before during a worsening cost of living crisis. It also means imported products, such as food and drink, could also become more expensive, with customers forking out the extra costs.
