West Ham and Arsenal currently have the most expensive pints in the top division.
On average the rivals charge £7.57 on each pint, which is an increase of £1.27 since 2022.
A recent assessment of the current prices across all the grounds and the average inflation rate could shock some match-going supporters.
Football shirt retailer UKSoccerShop has claimed that in six years, many clubs will be sharing at least £10 per pint.
The study claims that fans at the Emirates and the London Stadium will have to fork out £13.12 per pint.
The Hammers also have the most expensive pie prices in the Premier League.
Other London grounds will also be pricey, with only Brentford‘s Gtech Community stadium charging less than a tenner.
In 2030, a pint at the Bees’ venue will cost £8.33 which is up from the current average price of £4.80.

Up and down the country, prices will vary, but London will remain the most expensive.
In Manchester, prices will almost hit £10 per pint with the Etihad expected to reach £9.58.
However, at Old Trafford, the price will only be £6.25, which will make it one of the cheapest in the Premier League.
Teams that would be charging over £10 include the likes of Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Fulham, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.
The study was based on the inflation rate of alcoholic drinks in data collected by the Office for National Statistics.
A spokesperson from UKSoccerShop said: “Drinkflation is on the rise.
“With UK households feeling the cost of living squeeze, hospitality services trying to work around spiralling costs, with some choosing to serve weaker beer.
“It’s likely to affect our stadiums, too.
“Using inflation figures from the ONS, we can estimate what prices football fans could pay for a match day pint.
“We found that over £6 could become the norm up north and over £10 in London – some may even get closer to £15 by the end of 2030.”
