Between 2008 and 2012 Pub beer sales by pint have dropped from 5 Billion to 3.9 Billion in the UK. Shocking to say the least…details from The Mirror:
Beer sales are running at 3.9 billion pints a year, down from five billion in 2008, meaning one in five fewer pints are being sold.
Worst hit areas include Lancashire, Wales and the Midlands where beer sales plunged by more than 27 per cent in the last year.
The huge slump is being blamed on cheap supermarket sales and the Government’s beer duty “escalator” which adds two per cent above inflation onto every pint.
