WALES holds some of the most affordable pints in the UK, with Wrexham leading the way at just £2 This town is not only known for its low prices but also for Wrexham Lager, the UK’s oldest lager brewery, which is currently expanding overseas. This was the only larger brand available onboard the Titanic. The Welsh city of Wrexham is not only famous for their alcohol but also famous for Wrexham AFC, football league as well as Hollywood celebrities visiting such as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McEihenney.
The Elihu Yale, in Wrexham produces cheap beer, costing £1.99 for a Bud light and just £2.43 for Carlsberg Pilsner. Glyns bar on the other hand sells beer at a more reasonable price on Student nights, every Thursday 7pm with beer costing as low as £2.30.
Following Wrexham, Bridgend offers pints for £3.60, while Merthyr Tydfil averages £3.75. Newport and Barry round out the list with average prices of £4.00 each making Welsh pubs an attractive option for beer enthusiasts.
While Wrexham, Wales remains the cheapest place to buy beer, there are affordable options all throughout the UK. Bury, Bolton and Blackpool sell beer averaging from £2.75 to £3.10. Scotland then comes in third, selling beer ranging from £3.25 to £3.50 from Kilmarnock, Dunfermline and Ayr.
The average cost in the UK for a pint is £5.17, which has steadily increased since the living cost crisis. While enjoying these affordable drinks, it is crucial to consider the quality of the beer being served. Contaminated beer lines can significantly alter the taste, resulting in undesirable flavours such as sourness or staleness. Regular cleaning of these lines is essential to maintain the beer’s quality and ensure a positive drinking experience.
Dirty beer lines can harbour harmful bacteria and mould, posing potential health risks to consumers. Keeping beer lines clean is vital for protecting patrons and ensuring that establishments comply with industry standards, especially during inspections by the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
Rachael Kiss from Alliance Online said “Our study shows that customers can still very much get a bargain beer if they look for one, with the cost of a pint varying depending on where you live in the UK. We were surprised to see such low prices in unexpected places that have lots of well-reviewed local pubs. This is good news for locals and tourists alike!”
