At the opposite end of the spectrum a pint of lager in Edinburgh will set you back £4, while it costs £4.25 in Brighton and Oxford.

The most expensive pint of beer is, unsurprisingly, in London where it costs an average of £4.50.

Last month it was revealed The Rake, in Borough Market, was selling pints at a whopping £13.40.

The little bar charges the staggering sum for its 8.2 per cent strength Cloudwater North West Double IPA beer.  

The bar caused a social media storm as Twitter users slammed the price of the ale, with one branding it ‘stark, raving, bonkers.’

But its boss insisted customers were not being ripped off, saying it was ‘reasonable to charge a premium price for premium beer.’

Despite its pricey pint of a lager Brighton has the highest pub-to-population ratio in the UK, with one bar per every 861 people.

Sheffield has the lowest, with just one pub for every 2,793 people. 

Gareth Brown, marketing manager at Thames cruise liner Bateaux London, which commissioned the survey, told The Sunday People: ‘Cities like Brighton, Liverpool, and York are growing into real drinking hot spots for the average beer drinker.

‘And each of these cities are now seeing many microbreweries and craft pubs opening up.

‘While London didn’t perhaps perform as well as we expected in the data, the city still boasts the greatest variety of pub and entertainment offerings in the UK.’
