CASK THEORY PRICE TRACKER
Look, we’ve all been there. You suggest a pub, everyone agrees, then suddenly your round costs £35 and you’re doing mental math to figure out if you can afford to eat this week.
In Belfast especially (but across the UK too), beer prices are all over the place. The Cask Theory Price Tracker helps you know what you’re walking into before you commit. Crowdsourced, receipt-verified, transparent.
📍 Belfast City Centre.. The Current Picture
That’s a £2.55 spread across 34 city centre pubs.. or roughly 60% more for the same pint of Guinness depending on which door you walk through.
We track Value Score too: Google Rating ÷ Price. It answers the question “am I paying for a good pub, or just a good postcode?” Anything above 0.80 is excellent value. Below 0.65 and you’re paying heritage tax.
