Pub sector ‘devastated’ by lockdowns and full reckoning is yet to come, says trade body
UK beer sales have fallen by 2.1bn pints in the year since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, according to industry figures.
The figure translates to £8.2bn in lost trade by value compared with the same period a year before, according to the estimates from the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA), a lobby group representing pubs and brewers.
