Prepare yourself for some staggering predictions with the Yorkshire cry at the ready as the price of a pint is set to spike over the next few years. In the next year which could mean pints costing up to £9 in places and up to £14 by 2025. “Hoooow muuuuch?”
The shock findings predict that the price of a pint is set to rise in London to at least £9 a pint by next year for the most expensive pubs. Who knows what that means for us Yorkshire folk?
Pension providers Penfold published a study that predicted the cost of a beer could be as much as £13.98 by 2025 at its current rate of inflation.
