2/3 of Brit pubs to increase beer prices
Nearly a fifth of British pub owners are increasing beer prices now, taking the national average above the current level of ₤3 a pint. Ten percent are looking to pop an extra 15 pence on every glass, with two-thirds looking to push prices higher by 5 pence to 10 pence. The price of a beer has tripled over the past 20 years, obviously making it a better investment than that Enron stock you're hoping will bounce back.
A new 2 percent tax is contributing to the elevated cost of intoxication, though operational expenses (like updating menus and cash registers) are leading to the extra imposition.
Seven percent of pubs will absorb the extra costs until September. Ninety-seven percent don't give a shit about your need to imbibe at a value.
