Cheapest Place To Buy A Pint
The North West is the cheapest place in Britain to buy a pint of beer - and the South East is the most expensive.The average price for a pint of lager in the North West is £1.98 - the only place under £2 - and 19p less than the national average.The area is also the cheapest for real ale at around £1.75 compared to the South East where drinkers pay an average £2.15 a pint.
The figures were compiled by the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) whose members visited more than 1,000 pubs in March to record almost 6,500 beer and cider prices.
The average price for a pint of real ale across Britain is £1.98, up from £1.92 last year.
Lager drinkers pay on average £2.17 for a pint, 6p more than they did last year, with the most expensive pint in the South East at £2.35, just above London at £2.34.
The South West is the cheapest for a pint of real cider - naturally fizzy - at £1.83, compared to East Anglia where it is £2.36.
Mike Benner, Camra\'s head of campaigns, said: "The Chancellor put a penny on a pint of beer in this year\'s Budget, which will have increased prices in pubs by 2p or 3p a pint.
"We\'ll continue to campaign for a reduction in beer duty as this will help stamp out smuggling and encourage people to visit and enjoy British pubs on a more regular basis, rather than drinking cheap imported lager at home."
I live in the North West and the beer is cheaper here I agree!

Yup, that about right. Just under 2 quid for a pint of lager, and just over £1.50 for a pint of Worthingtons.......
I\'ll be going out tonight conducting my own research on the subject. I might have to go out tomorrow and saturday night as well, just to make sure I get the information as accurate as possible.
I may post my findings here later, but I more than likely won\'t.

Birds drink them... well proper birds do, and blockes who are light on their lofas
but your typical carpet muncher (the non lipstic lesbo) or Tomboy oh she will drink a full pint just like the lads.
