Manchester has been named the best city in the UK for beer - despite charging higher prices for pints than the likes of Birmingham and Glasgow.
As part of a study of Europe’s best cities for beer lovers, Manchester was the highest-ranking city in the UK and the only one to make it into the top 20 list. The list, from travel expert and ferry operator DFDS, ranked each European city based on beer quality, its highest-rated bar and pubs, their prominence on social media, and the average cost of a pint.
Their prominence on social media and average cost of a pint?
That’s a pretty poor way to determine if the beer is good.
You want a nice atmosphere and a decent drop. Rating on socials and price isn’t going to give you that and generally works against it.
