Data analysed
Elsewhere, the survey analysed Google searches alongside social media trends data and found BrewDog was the most popular beer brand ahead of Guinness, which was in second place.
Meanwhile, Black Sheep was the nation’s favourite craft beer and Kopparberg was the UK’s favourite cider.
Recent data from The MA Pint Price Survey, which studies the average prices of pints across the London, the Midlands, north-east, north-west, south-east, south-west, Scotland and Wales, revealed the average price of a pint of draught beer exceeded £5.
In August last year, survey results showed the price was £4.98 for a pint in a pub but research in January showed the figure was £5.08.
This was followed by analysis by Frontier Economics, commissioned by the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA), which found prior to the autumn Budget, the average pint price was £4.80 but costs as a result of the Government’s fiscal announcement, were expected to drive this up to £5.01.

Moreover, figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) found the cost of a pint of draught lager in pubs jumped almost 3% in the year to January 2025.
It showed while the price continued to rise, the acceleration rate was slower when compared to the previous 12-month period.
The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) chairman Ash Corbett-Collins told The Morning Advertiser it has become “far too predictable” to see the price of a pint rise each year.
He said: “Ever growing costs have been a constant worry for both publicans struggling to keep their venues open and their customers who are finding it harder to afford a pint.”
