Pubs say £20 pints could become reality as energy prices soar to over £20,000 for some businesses
James Allcocks pub Pig & Whistle Bistro in Beverly has seen bills on electricity and gas increase from £2,900 to £22,000 annually
This could force some pub owners to increase their beer prices to as much as £20 in order to afford staying in business - Something that will surely be off putting to already struggling population. “Unsure what to actually do next but as a business that cost would now be more than I pay in rent and more than I take some months. I simply don’t have the money for this.”, Nik Antona, Chairman of the Campaign for Real Ale said: “Pubs goers and beer drinkers want to see urgent action from government to make sure that the UK’s best beers, brands and breweries can survive these unprecedented times of rocketing energy and ingredient costs and a dip in consumer confidence.
