YET ANOTHER BREWERY CLOSURE ANNOUNCED TODAY...

The awesome DMC Brewery are also having to call it a day due to a lack of support from the government and ever rising costs... citing much the same reasons as Big Hand Brewing Co & Q***r Brewing as the reason for closure...

You can watch the incredibly emotional statement from them here --> https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18y7WnFeSu/

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...

WE ARE LOSING INDEPENDENT BREWERIES ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS

OUR ENTIRE BREWING HERITAGE IS AT RISK AND THERE NEEDS TO BE INSTANT HELP MADE AVAILABLE BEFORE WE LOST ANYTHING ELSE...

The hospitality sector has come together to launch – a united campaign and petition calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.

Spearheaded by chef and publican Tom Kerridge, we’re working alongside trade bodies across the sector, such as and , hospitality communities like , and you, businesses across hospitality, to say 10% VAT is fair for hospitality.

Our sector pays too much tax, and VAT is the single biggest lever the Government can pull to support venues, our customers, our high streets and our local communities.

This campaign is for everyone: businesses, customers, waiting staff, chefs, kitchen porters, bar staff, hotel teams, farmers, brewers, suppliers and producers.

Like, sign the petition and share this post – we need your support to reach a million signatures.
