Get used to £6 pints as standard as beer prices set to rise by 30p
The Metro says Beer prices are set to rise by 30p a pint even before any duty increases are potentially announced in Rishi Sunak’s Budget, reports say.
More than eight in 10 pubs have bumped their prices or plan to do so as rising costs are passed on to punters.
This includes those caused by higher wages along with energy and supply shortages, The Times reports.
Soaring prices have left publicans appealing to the Chancellor to freeze the alcohol duty rate amid fears the £6 pint could become commonplace in London and the south-east.
