The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) has issued a warning, reporting that roughly one pub will close down everyday this year. This is driven largely due to rising beer prices and escalating operating costs.
The BPPA represents more than 20,000 of the estimated 45,000 pubs in the UK. The trade association expects 378 to close this year in England, Scotland, and Wales, which will cost 5,600 jobs.
