Price of a pint exceeds £8 for the first time

The Telegraph  

The price of a pint has surpassed £8 for the first time with the average cost of a tipple jumping by more than 70pc since the 2008 financial crisis. Spiralling inflation has pushed the average price of a pint of beer in the UK to £3.95, according to data from research agency CGA, up from £2.30 in 2008. The data from CGA, which tracks prices by frequently surveying more than 5,550 random bars and pubs, also showed that, for the first time, the average price of a pint at one London pub breached £8. Ukraine was the world’s fourth largest producer of barley before Vladimir Putin’s invasion, representing nearly one fifth of the global export market last year.
