It is likely that beer drinkers will soon see the price of a pint of beer hitting the £4 mark. The drinks industry is facing huge rises in production and distribution costs meaning it will soon have to pass these increases onto the customer. A pint of beer currently costs around £3.20 on average but some sources predict prices could rise as much as 60%. The price could be increased still further if there in an increase in beer duty in next months budget.
