A Spokesman for Holidu explained the methodology, saying: "The Pub Beer Price Index assesses the price of a variety of beers in pubs in 30 UK cities and the top 50 tourist destinations for Brits, revealing the price differentiation for a pint of beer around the country and further afield.

"For each UK city, the study collected prices from the top rated pub as well as a Wetherspoons pub.
