That makes Camden Hells and BrewDog the most expensive pints in the UK now.
Camden Pale Ales have also increased in price, but by a more subtle 1.7%.
They cost £5.69 on average, up from £5.59 in January.

Average price of a pint rises
The Morning Advertiser previously found the average price of a pint had risen from £5.08 at the start of the year to £5.17 now.
The trade magazine regularly examines the average cost of a pint across London, the Midlands, the North East, the North West, the South East, the South West, Scotland, and Wales.
Beer prices have been rising sharply thanks to higher alcohol taxes, soaring utility bills and increased staffing costs.
It's probably no surprise that the priciest pints are found in London, where the average pub charges £6.10.
The latest research found pints of Guinness have reached £6.45 and Birra Moretti is £7.17 in the capital.
If you're looking for the cheapest pint in the UK, the Midlands is the place to go.
There an average pint will set you back £4.68.
Tennent's lager is the most affordable option there at £3.50, followed by Carlsberg at £3.72.
Foster's and Greene King IPA are a little more expensive - but still very affordable - at £3.80 and £3.85 respectively.
But even in the Midlands, pint prices increased by 5.15% between January and April.
They rose by 3.87% in Wales and 2.54% in the South East.
During the same period, prices in London actually fell by 1.22%.
Which brands are the cheapest and most expensive?
The survey also looked at the average prices of over 30 beer brands.
As we mentioned, Camden Hells and BrewDog Punk IPA are the most expensive pints at £6.34.
But Beavertown Neck Oil follows closely behind at £6.24.
A pint of Peroni costs an average of £6.12.
Only slightly cheaper is Asahi at £6.11.
On the more affordable end of the scale, Tennent's and Carlsberg emerged as the cheapest options.
Drinkers will pay an average of £4.23 a pint for these.
Greene King IPA, Budweiser, and Foster's, come with an average price of £4.36, £4.38, and £4.47 respectively.

Thousands of of ASOS customers banned and accounts deleted as retailer cracks down on ‘insane' policy
The move has been branded a 'joke' and 'insane' by loyal customers - but what are your rights? We explain NO RETURN Thousands of of ASOS customers banned and accounts deleted as retailer cracks down on 'insane' policy Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THOUSANDS of ASOS customers have had their accounts banned and deleted as the retailer cracks the whip on its return policy. Shoppers were sent emails detailing how their accounts had been closed with "immediate effect" after the online retailer said they breached the terms of its Fair Use Policy. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A number of customers were told they could no longer shop with ASOS Credit: ASOS The move sparked fury among punters, with many describing the move as "unfair" and "insane". Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one shopper said: "Account closed for consistent breaches of their [ASOS] Fair Use policy when I haven't returned anything since October." While another confused user said: " I haven't shopped with ASOS in over a year and I still get an email telling me my account is being closed." Another upset customer said: "ASOS have really hurt me today closing my account what did I do?." And a fourth added: "I've made three orders in the last six months and from those orders sent back only one pair of jeans. "This is a joke, I've been a loyal customer for years and now you close my account . An ASOS spokesperson: "We recently closed the accounts of a small group of customers whose shopping activity has consistently fallen outside our Fair Use policy. "This helps us maintain our commitment to offering free returns to all customers across all core markets." It is understood that even if customers have not used their account in recent months, it could still be closed if they breached policy rules. Last year, the online department store said it would charge customers for returning items unless they spent a certain amount. The new rule means shoppers only get free returns if they keep £40 or more of their order. My Asos dress looks so high end it's giving Balmain on a budget – it's perfect for a birthday, I'm begging you to buy it Otherwise, £3.95 will be deducted from their refund. Premier ASOS customers, who pay £9.95 a year for free delivery, are also not exempt from the change. But they only need to keep £15 of their order to dodge the charge. The digital department store previously said its profits were bruised by customers making large orders and not keeping all of the items. However, the move has been labelled as unfair by many punters, especially as they cannot try before they buy when shopping online. CRACK DOWN ON RETURNS And ASOS is not the only online store to crack down on customers who make frequent returns. H&M, Boohoo, Pretty Little Thing, and Zara are among stores which now charge customers. Next also introduced the change at the start of 2023 and customers now have to fork out £2.50 per item returned. In December 2023, Debenhams left shoppers feeling "cheated" after introducing a charge for returning online goods.

‘Old and ugly' shopping centre loved in the 80s set to get major £2million revamp
Read on to find what changes will be made to the mall NEW SLATE 'Old and ugly' shopping centre loved in the 80s set to get major £2million revamp Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DETERIORATING shopping centre which was once popular in the 80s will finally get a major revamp. A local council is expected to splurge £2million to revive the mall to its former glory. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A shopping centre that opened in 1979 has been called 'old and ugly' by locals Credit: Castle Point Council/Ingleton Wood 2 It is set to receive £2million worth refurbishment Credit: Castle Point Council/Ingleton Wood The Knightswick Shopping Centre on Canvey Island was built in 1978, and has since lost its charm. Castle Point Council bought the mall in October 2019 and has now made plans to spend £2,154,600 to refurbish the place. During a cabinet meeting on June 18, Tom Gibson, People's Independent Party councillor for special projects and assets, said: 'This is, of course, a good news story, and the investment in and revitalisation of a valued and economically important commercial asset should be welcomed. "To conclude, this is a fantastic opportunity to breathe new life into a highly valued commercial asset and the heart of our community.' The shopping centre boasts 28 ground-floor shop units inside and around the mall. The original plans, which were approved, called for new lighting, pilasters, ceiling treatments, and floor finishes. The council will also be replacing high-level windows, mall fixtures, fittings and furniture, as well as branding, signage and installing CCTV. The centre's three entry doors will all be completely replaced too. The planning permission for the revamp was granted in December 2023 but the works won't start until February next year. Residents can expect to see an improved mall by June 2026. Fly-through video shows what major Scots city will look like after huge £20m revamp David Blackwell, Canvey Independent leader of the council, said: 'It's been a long journey on this, so it will be good now we can see the works going. "I think really, looking at some of the photos from the architects I think the Knightswick Centre will look absolutely superb when the works are finished next year, so we all look forward to that.' Locals have long been calling for the refurbishment, saying the mall was "very rundown" and "old, ugly and boring". Some people only used it as a shortcut path to the nearest Sainbury's. It comes after a shabby shopping centre in an industrial UK town is set to receive a multi-million-pound revamp. Property developers purchased the town's central shopping centre from former owners late last year, with major plans to transform it.

Council staff in major Scots city could soon be doing FOUR-DAY week
She said the proposed change to working arrangements could offer a new way to help staff morale WORK IN PROGRESS Council staff in major Scots city could soon be doing FOUR-DAY week Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WORKERS in one of Scotland's cities could soon be working just four days a week. The proposals could soon be trialled by a council meaning thousands of staff could be the first in the country to work the revamped hours. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The City of Edinburgh Council is exploring a proposal to offer staff a four-day week Credit: The Times Councillors in the capital passed a motion lodged by the Scottish Greens' Claire Miller. She said the proposed change to working arrangements could offer a new way to help staff morale. Cllr Miller claimed that "productivity remains the same or in some cases can actually improve" with a four-day working week. She also told a City of Edinburgh Council meeting it would also assist in filling empty roles and aid poor health, as reported by BBC Scotland. Officers will now prepare a report for the local authority's finance and resources committee. The document will include information on the health of staff, productivity, recruitment and retention. Council officers will also inspect the evidence from four-day week pilots or reduced workday practices elsewhere. Ms Miller said: "The four-day week is a policy where our services remain as they are and there are no changes as far as the residents are concerned in terms of the opening hours provided to them. "Studies into a four-day week show productivity remains the same or in some cases can actually improve, and a great proportion of the working week is given back to people for their own responsibilities for rest and for leisure. "A four-day week is that rare unicorn policy, one where we can help our budgets but we would also be providing genuine benefits for our workers and through them to our residents." Scottish Conservative councillor Christopher Cowdy said that the report must be "balanced and grounded". New sinister threat issued in ongoing Scotland gang war He added that the council should be wary in interpreting limited trials and that locals should also be consulted. A number of local authorities in the UK have shown interest in trialling a four-day working week. South Cambridgeshire District Council was the first to trial it.
