A pint could cost you £7.

From the land of haribos.

It wont affect me as I dont drink, currently the average cost of a pint is about £4.07 and apparently beer prices could rise to £7 a pint as pubs set to hike prices by 50p due to soaring inflation, the reason of the increase is as pubs battle inflation and supply chain issues, is the supply in europe?

People will only have to go out if they can genuinely afford it.

More people will be drinking at home rather than going out, which will have a knock on effect on the industry.

It must be worrying times for anyone in the trade.

It’s why all the kids go for “pre” as they call it - load up on cheap booze at home then go out. I dunno what they do in the Nordic countries - but Sweden is still the most expensive place I’ve bought a beer. £11 in about 2011

A little more context from an article about it.

"Londoners pay £4.84 for theirs on average, but the cost of many pints in the capital is now more than £6."

So yeah an extra 50p would make those pints be roughly £7

Thats a more impressive and controversial headline than the much more broader 50p price hike on beer

£4.07 I the average... you will have some charging more and some less.

Somewhere must be charging £6.50 a pint and the extra 50p will push it up to £7.

Yeah, that's the media for you. Trying to blown things out of proportion again.

Average price is £4.07, so the new average will likely be £4.57.

But prices 'could' go up to £7 in some case. This is likely only going to be the in pubs that are already charging £6.50.

Today I heard “Levelling Up” being presented in terms of the cost of living being markedly different in regions across the UK….. rather than the usual of it being about opportunity and more equitable share of national

Maybe they basically meant soon enough a pint will cost £7 everywhere.

It will related to local real estate prices and cost of living. It tracks the difference in house prices more or less. Then on top you have the “prestige” value of the venue even if in London or Hull. If they think they can get away with it they will try.
