BBPA response to inflation figures

A British Beer and Pub Association spokesperson said: “These figures are a further blow to brewers and publicans who are already grappling with a cost of doing business crisis on top of painful extra rates and taxes from last year’s Budget. 

"It means it is even more critical that this Autumn the Chancellor finds a way to cut business rates via her long-awaited reforms to the business rates system and make a meaningful cut to beer cut to keep the cost of a pint affordable.”
