The price of a pint of Guinness and a bottle of Smirnoff vodka is set to go up from April.

Pub goers looking to enjoy a pint of the stout will have to pay around 4p more as the cost of Guinness Draught will rise by 5.2% from April 1.

It comes after drinks giant Diageo confirmed its wholesale prices are set to rise. 

Meanwhile, the list price of a standard bottle of 70cl Smirnoff will go up by 13p. 

Other brands such as Baileys, Guinness 0.0, Guinness Microdraught and Guinness Draught in a can will not be affected by the hike.

The average price of a pint of Guinness in the UK is £5.21, according to Diageo.

Diageo has been contacted for comment.
