Neill, forget the price WE pay in a pub.What does the landlord pay the brewery? If IT works out at less than 50p/unit the brewery will have to charge HIM more so to survive he'll have to charge US more!Pure profit for the brewery.
Also the supermarkets will make a fortune- this rise will be pure profit for them as well.
If the Government put tax up so you couldn't buy cheap beer I wouldn't like it but at least the money might save us being taxed more some other way. As it is the Government are proposing 50p/unit minimum price, not a tax increase, so the only beneficiaries are the sellers.Where can I get some shares in Tesco/Asda?
