I should add that most breweries would like to offload their tied houses and deal solely with bulk customers. But they are not stupid and they realise that people still like to go out to drink, and keeping the price to the tenant high maximises profits from their tied houses. This is why there is such an emphasis on Gastro Pubs, Family Pubs, Sports Pubs etc. etc. .

Any niche will do.
