Beer Price Hike Threatens Pubs

The price of a pint goes up by 10p from today - and that is before any budget rises next month.Landlords are warning the increase threatens the future of pubs - with many people choosing to drink at home.

Rural pubs could be the worst hit with many facing closure.

The move comes following a a decision by American brewing giant Coors, which produces Carling, Grolsch and Worthington, to increase prices from today.

Tony Payne, Chief Executive of the Federation of Licensed Victuallers says the increase is one of the steepest he has seen and represents a real threat to the pub industry.

He fears it is likely to extend the drift of people away from pubs to home - where they're drinking cut price supermarket beer.

It could also result in the closure of many pubs already experiencing hard times.

He is also critical about Coors timing of the increase - shortly before the budget, where he expects a rise in duty to further increase the price of a pint.

It is likely that other brewers will follow suit and increase their prices too, but a spokeswoman for Scottish and Newcastle, producers of Kronenbourg and Fosters, said their customers would be the first to know if they were planning such a move.

.........I guess I'll never be drinking Carling again.......which is OK cos I mostly drink Fosters anyway
