“There are arund 40,000 pubs in the UK…only 20 years ago there were 60,000. Of those 40,000 pubs only half of them are able to buy the beer they want to stock. The others have to buy from suppliers that are approved by the company that actually owns the building…they are tied into selling what they are told to sell”
