Fancy a well-earned pint this weekend?
Well, you’ll be happy to know that a pint in Armagh is one of the cheapest in the UK, according to pub trade journal Morning Advertiser.
At an average of £2.78, it’s behind only Carlisle, Chelmsford and Newport in Wales.
Newry scrambles into fifth place with a pint costing an average of £2.80, but still someway off Carlisle, which came in as the UK’s cheapest pint at a paltry £2.35.
