Support the people behind the pint

Almost a million people make a pint possible

From scientists, farmers and draymen, to delivery drivers and the many thousands who work in our nation’s pubs. They have faced a tough few years, and they have worked hard to continue to serve our local communities. But Britain is still one of the most taxed places to have a pint.

“I’m proud of being part of a company that’s doing well for themselves and has done for 300 years. There could be something different every day within the brewhouse – that’s what’s exciting. Making beer is the part I enjoy the most. It’s nice to go out and see people drinking what you make. You get a thrill out of it. I go to my local because I enjoy taking the time out, meeting with friends, some chilling out time. I like it because it’s right along the river which is really nice.”
