Emma McClarkin, Chief Executive of the British Beer and Pub Association said: “We welcome the news that inflation has fallen but, with fears that it may rise again over the coming months, there is little respite for brewers and publicans.
“With rising energy costs and uncertainty caused by an unfair EPR regime and increasing employment costs, pubs and brewers will continue to face mounting pressure to be able to keep their doors open and keep employing people.
“We will continue to work closely with the Government to press home the urgent need for a phasing in of employment costs, business rate reform, and to review the chaotic implementation of EPR so that pubs and brewers can continue to deliver for the UK economy.”
