Beer may go up 2p a Pint. ... Beer prices will be increased early in the New Year... and the rise should be around 2p a pint.

The big Scottish brewers say an increase is "inevitable" after many prices being held for nearly a year.

But none will say exactly what the new price will be. The 2p a pint forecast comes from English stock-broker Colin Mitchell who says that a rise of at least that will be needed to cover wage increases and more expensive raw materials.

These increased costs are currently being reviewed by the brewers. A spokesman for Scottish and Newcastle Breweries said today, "We wouldn't be prepared to put a price on it, but I think pricing increases are inevitable for a number of reasons.

"The brewers have all held their prices steady for a year and costs have been rising and there has been a big wage rise." Several brewery executives have agreed unofficially that a 2p increase is virtually certain.
