An Alliance Online spokeswoman said: 'The Welsh city of Wrexham is crowned the cheapest place in the UK for a beer. 'Famous for Wrexham AFC, headed up by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, their fans will be happy to know that they have access to bargain beer after a match.' Last month, Deadpool star Ryan, 48, unveiled a special 'bargain' beer to toast his club's promotion. A separate study found Wrexham is the cheapest for beer at £2 a pint, while the UK average now sits at £4.83. The cost of popular brands in the capital has also climbed, with a pint of Guinness reaching £6.45, Birra Moretti £7.17, and Camden Hells £7.05 since February. In contrast, the Midlands boasts the cheapest average pint in Great Britain, priced at £4.68. The priciest and cheapest places in UK to buy a beer Tennent's lager is the most affordable option there at £3.50, followed by Carlsberg at £3.72.
