Holidu.co.uk, the search engine for holiday rentals, has released a study that tracks the change in the price of beer from before the pandemic to now in a range of UK cities. It follows their recent study that analysed the price of different beer types in 30 UK cities. As travel experts, they have witnessed the significant impact of the pandemic on the tourism and hospitality industries, as well as the growth in popularity of staycations over the last 18 months.
With prices having increased recently due to multiple pressure points including the pandemic, Brexit and global supply shortages, Holidu were motivated to examine how the price of beer has changed during this period.
The researchers began by identifying the highest rated pubs in a range of UK cities. They then recorded the price of a pint of popular lager (e.g. Heineken, Stella Artois) and a dark beer (e.g. Guinness). The prices of similar types of beer were then gathered from a Wetherspoons pub in each city to allow for a comparison of both ends of the market.
The researchers then extended the study by analysing how the price of a pint of beer has changed in seven major UK cities since before the pandemic. To do this, they used historical drinks menus to identify the cost of the same drinks in the same establishments prior to the pandemic. The results give insight into how much the price of beer has increased in recent years.
