PerfectDraft - The true cost of a pint

We wanted to show you how we work out the price of a pint. There are a couple of things to take into account:

  • We give you £5 in Beer Tokens (see below) for each keg you return.
  • We give you 5% in Beer Tokens when you buy a keg.
  • There are 10.56 pints (6 litres) in each keg.

We take Corona Cero, our cheapest keg (Oct 2025) at £28.55. If we take off £5 for keg returns and 5% in Beer Tokens, the price is £22.37. Divide that by 10.56 pints, and we have £2.12 per pint.



Stella Artois keg cost = £35.90 - £1.80 back in Beer Tokens - £5 in Beer Tokens for keg return = £29.11 / 10.56 = £2.76 per pint



Camden Hells keg cost = £39.95 - £1.90 back in Beer Tokens - £5 back in Beer Tokens for return = £33.05 / 10.56 = £3.13 per pint



Goose Island IPA keg cost =  £40.55 - £2.02 back in Beer Tokens - £5 back in Beer Tokens for return = £33.52 / 10.56 = £3.17 per pint

So for you boffins out there here's the formula to find out exactly how much each pint of pub-quality beer will set you back:

And all of this is assuming you're buying the kegs at normal price - every Wednesday we switch up our Multibuy keg offer, where you can get up to 15% off a selection of kegs.

So now we have the boring maths out of the way, let's enjoy a pint!
