The average pint of beer in Yorkshire is among the cheapest in the country, according to a new study.

The difference in the price of the average pint is now more than £1 across the country, with London no longer having the most expensive drinks for the first time.

Research for the new edition of the Good Pub Guide showed prices went up by 13p to a new national average of £3.60 compared to last year.

The cost of the average pint ranged from £3.31 in Yorkshire to £4.40 in Surrey, while beer in pubs brewing their own brands was typically £3.09 per pint.
