Higher or Lager start screen for the daily game of 06/10/2026: 'Know your pints?', the Wetherspoons Edition beta badge, ten rounds and the Let's Get Pinted button

Higher or Lager is a free daily browser game about British pub prices. It shows you the price of a pint at one Wetherspoons, then names another pub and pint, and you guess whether the second costs more or less. Ten rounds a day, the same for everyone, with a daily leaderboard.

About Higher or Lager

Higher or Lager is a daily price game made as an unofficial fan project. The current version is the Wetherspoons Edition, marked as a beta, which uses menu prices the site says it collected on 2 October 2026 and has not independently verified.

Each round has two cards. The first is the benchmark: a pub, a pint and its known price. The second is the challenger, another pub and pint with the price hidden. You press Higher if you think it costs more or Lager if you think it costs less, and the real price is shown straight after. Pairs with equal prices are left out.

There are ten rounds in the daily game, the same for every player, and a new one at midnight UK time. At the end you get a score out of ten to copy and share, a trophy cabinet of achievements and past games saved in your browser, and the option to put a nickname on the daily pub table next to yesterday's results.

How to play Higher or Lager

  1. Press Let's Get Pinted to start today's ten rounds.
  2. Read the benchmark pint and its price at the first pub.
  3. Guess whether the challenger pint at the second pub costs more (Higher) or less (Lager).
  4. See the real price, move to the next round, and share your score after round ten.

Tips

  • Think about where each pub is: the same pint can be priced differently from town to town.
  • The type of drink matters as much as the pub: a premium lager and a house bitter can sit far apart.
  • Each round only compares two prices, so judge against the benchmark shown, not against earlier rounds.
