According to the Evening Standard in June this year
'While London is blessed with one of the best pub scenes in the world, the beer — sadly — isn’t always affordable.
In fact, the average price of a pint is around £5.19'
Average about £3.50 ish or if you go for one of the “designer” Lagers up to £4.50 “Up North” that is, and these days pretty decent food at very affordable prices. A pint of Doom Bar, a very decent bitter is £2.80 in my local.

MM if you are ever my way my club (Burbage Constitutional or Connie Club) will charge you no more that £2.50 for almost whatever alcoholic you drink. Sorry that price does not include accommodation but can always work something out

In the South of England.....£4.50 ish.......
That's shocking Dave!!! The most I reckon we have ever paid is £3.50 a pint. And that's when there is entertainment on ie, Rod Stewart, Simple Minds etc etc.
Can't help with the prices of Carlsberg - I never go to pay for drinks at the bar, my other half tops up my cider glass when we're out.
But, we have a regular turnover of different real ales in our local - £2.80 a pint.

Most Wetherspoons have a good selection of local draught ales @ £ 1.99-£ 2.15 for a full UK pint in the Midlands
The Peaky Blinders Pale Ale went down well @ lunchtime
Just reminded myself its on in a bit !!
Wetherspoons are great for drink prices - but they do a massive turnover on food so can do this.
I like my free drink with my Steak Tuesday or Curry Thursday - Gin with my steak and Cider with my curry
In the UK this summer I was quite shocked to get a pint of mild for £1.34. I couldn't believe it so I had to have another just to check.
I didn't ask, but I assume it must be a promotion of some sort. I always thought the tax on beer was more than that.
