How much for a pint?

The average price of a pint in Britain will exceed £5 for the first time due to rising taxes, wage increases, and business costs. The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) warns that pubs will have no choice but to pass on costs, with London prices potentially surpassing £7 per pint. Industry leaders blame government policies, including higher National Insurance contributions and reduced business rate relief, for putting pubs under further financial strain.
