YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPub landlords must pour away thousands of gallons of draft beer and ale - which has been stored in their cellars during the coronavirus lockdown.
Breweries are asking publicans to clear out their cellars and pipelines before they replace stock - and to film and photograph this happening.
Once the breweries receive proof that all the stock is gone, they can replace it with fresh goods while establishments prepare to reopen.
Industry trade body Water UK, alongside the British Beer & Pub Association, are asking landlords to contact their water authority - who will give them a specific time period in which they’re allowed to destroy their stock.
Peter Gillingham is the owner of The Saracen’s Head in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire - and tells us that it’s a shame to get rid of so much product.
He says: “I think a lot of [customers] would be broken-hearted, but look - this was the requirement by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
“It was the only way that we were going to get credited back - and you know, when you’re talking about here alone, at The Saracen’s - somewhere between six and eight thousand pounds...
“It’s a lot of money, which a lot of pubs could do with right now.”
