The cost of a pint has risen across the nation in recent years - but Coventry is still among the cheapest cities to buy a beverage.
According to the Office of National Statistics, the average cost of a pint of beer has risen 30 percent, from £2.81 to £3.57.
And Coventry has moved with the times, with the average price of a pint in the city £3.52
It will come as no surprise that the most expensive city in the UK for beer is the capital, with the average price in London an eye opening £5.18.
Other pricey places include Brighton, Cambridge and Bristol, with average prices of £4.53, £4,40, and £4.36 respectively.
On the other end of the scale, the cheapest average price is in Preston, with £3.06.
Narrowly missing out on top spot was Perth, just one pence more expensive than Preston.
Elsewhere in the Midlands, Birmingham is among the more expensive places to grab a drink, with the average price a touch under £4, at £3.94.
