“Beer drinkers will raise a glass to the Chancellor” – BBPA hails beer duty freeze in budget

Responding to the Chancellor’s Budget speech, British Beer and Pub Association chief executive Brigid Simmonds said: “The chancellor’s decision to freeze beer duty and cancel his planned rise is an early Christmas present for beer drinkers and pub-goers worth £117m this year and in subsequent years. It will secure over 3,000 jobs in pubs and the wider beer supply chain that would otherwise have been lost. This real-terms duty cut shows he has listened to our campaign and the concerns of pubs and pub-goers, and acknowledged the special role that beer and pubs play in the nation’s social life.
