Did you know the price of a pint on PerfectDraft starts from just £2.32? Let us show you how.

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 10.5 pints (6 litres) in each keg.

We take Bud Light, our cheapest keg (Dec 2022) at £30.90. If we take off £5 for keg returns and 5% in Beer Tokens, the price is £24.35. Divide that by 10.5 pints, and we have £2.32.

Here's a few examples of the price of a pint (and remember, always show your working!)

Stella Artois

Stella Artois Pint Price

Stella Artois keg cost = £34.90 - £1.75 back in Beer Tokens - £5 back in Beer Tokens for return = £28.15 / 10.5 = £2.68 per pint

Camden Hells

Camden Hells Pint Price

Camden Hells keg cost = £36.90 - £1.85 back in Beer Tokens - £5 back in Beer Tokens for return = £30.05 / 10.5 = £2.86 per pint

Goose Island IPA

Goose Island IPA keg

Goose Island IPA keg cost = £38.90 - £1.95 back in Beer Tokens - £5 back in Beer Tokens for return = £31.95 / 10.5 = £3.04 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!
