Point 2️⃣ of the #GE2024  #PledgeforPubs: An energy cap for businesses, including #pubs & #smallbrewers, with a turnover related taper & threshold, to focus help on smaller businesses. Pubs & small brewers have been badly hit by exorbitant bills & unfair contracts. #SaveOurPubs

#bathbeer Irish Gold Ale from Sullivan's Brewing Company, Kilkenny, Ireland 🇮🇪 "Traditionally brewed with lightly roasted cara malt and finished with First Gold Aroma hops. A tastier ale with a gentle bite." #irishcraftbeer #goldale #goldenale #smallbrewers #Kilkenny #realale

Yet all the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt does is a pathetic alcohol freeze that helps the global brewers & giant drinks producers & doesn’t stop #smallbrewers closing. We need a Chancellor who actually cares about our brewing heritage & about #pubs!

Enough is enough 😡 Enough of a Chancellor & a Government that doesn’t listen to #pubs & #publicans & #smallbrewers, only big brewers & #pubcos 🤬💩 If you want a #RealVoiceForPubs & independent #brewers then JOIN the Campaign for Pubs ⬇️🤝 campaignforpubs.org.uk

🚨 CAMPAIGN NEWS: A big relief for #smallbrewers & #pubs that the hugely flawed Scottish Government #DepositReturnScheme has been delayed for a year & we thank Humza Yousaf for listening. 👏 The flaws would cause huge damage for small businesses. #BackOurBrewers #SupportOurPubs #Scotland

After the very disappointing #Budget yesterday, that ignores the plight of #pubs & #smallbrewers, who thinks anytime Jeremy Hunt visits a pub (if he ever does) he should only be allowed to drink ‘#warmbeer’ (presumably microwaved?) as that’s what he seems to like! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏾😡

Disappointing #Budget is a ‘velvet-gloved punch’ that fails to help #pubs and #smallbrewers, here’s #CampaignforPubs response to Jeremy Hunt’s #Budget2023 Comments from Paul Crossman The Swan, York (Chair, Campaign for Pubs), Dawn Hopkins The Rose Pub & Deli & Phil Saltonstall. campaignforpubs.org.uk/press_release/…

Jeremy Hunt makes a silly (and untrue) gag about British #beer being warm but beer duty being frozen. 🙄 It’s more of the same approach from this Government, providing most support to global brewers & giant pubcos, not #pubs, #publicans or #smallbrewers.

We’re calling on the #Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to introduce an emergency package of support for #pubs & #smallbrewers in the #Budget next week. Without targeted support on energy bills & a VAT cut, more pubs & more #breweries will close. #Budget2023 campaignforpubs.org.uk/press_release/…

Our nation’s iconic #pubs & #smallbrewers are facing the worst ever crisis with exorbitant #energybills, spiralling costs & reduced spending. We’ve written to Chancellor Jeremy Hunt calling for meaningful, targeted support in the #fiscalstatement. campaignforpubs.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Please see this @CommonsBEIS - #pubcos overcharging tenants huge sums for doing NOTHING at the same time as paying unreasonably low prices to #smallbrewers ⬇️ Tonia Antoniazzi asked about this yesterday. #StopThePubcoRipoff #pubs

Thanks so much Tonia Antoniazzi for speaking up for #pubs & small #brewers 👏 The tied model operated by the large #pubcos is: ❌ Bad for #publicans ❌ Bad for #smallbrewers ❌ Bad for #pub customers ❌ Bad for communities who lose #pubs #StopThePubcoRipoff!

This says it all…bosses of the regulated #pubcos won’t tell @CommonsBEIS the truth about their wholly artificial tied prices, because they know the Committee will be shocked at how much these inflated prices are (at the same time #smallbrewers are paid peanuts by these #pubcos!)
