In 2023, consumers spent just over six billion British pounds on beer in the United Kingdom (UK). This represented the second year of decreased spending after many years of increases.
Alcohol consumption
In 2021, per capita beer consumption saw a notable rebound compared to the prior year's decline. Consumption had fallen in the early 2010's but rebounded a bit before the COVID-19 pandemic brought it to its lowest value in over a decade. In 2022, per capita consumption remained unchanged. Total consumption likewise rebounded by nearly 13 percent, though it declined slightly in 2022.
