Derby ranked among the least expensive UK cities for a pint says new study

Beer fans in Derby can rejoice with the release of a new study that names Derby as one of the least expensive cities to sink a pint.

Summer is nearly upon us, and whether we’re sipping our favourite pint, enjoying a fruity Pimms, or quenching our thirst with an icy soft drink, there’s nothing Brits enjoy more than soaking up the sun in a beer garden.

With this in mind, the team at Aqua has conducted new research to determine which UK city is the best for beer garden lovers.

The research analysed factors such as the price of drinks, average temperatures, amount of sunshine, amount of rainfall, and the number of beer gardens in the different cities.

Blackpool takes the crown as the city with the cheapest pint, with an average price of just £3.25.

Close behind is Northampton, where a pint will set you back £3.50.

Derby came in third place at £3.60, making these great spots for a night out without breaking the bank.

London and Belfast, both capital cities, top the list as the most expensive places for a pint, with an average price of £6.00.

Sharvan Selvam, Commercial Director for Aqua said: “When faced with lots of social plans, or even just the lure of long afternoons enjoying the sunshine with friends and family, it’s easy to spend more than you had planned.

“Putting a budget in place is the first step in helping you stay in control of your money. If you feel pressured to overspend, communicate your goals with friends and family and look for budget friendly alternatives.

“Everyone’s financial situation is different, so it’s important to do what’s best for you and your future.”
