Every pint in every pub across the UK will be subject to less tax after July 31 - according to HMRC.
From August 1 the biggest Alcohol Duty reforms in 140 years come into effect. The new rates will see all alcoholic drinks taxed by their alcohol by volume (ABV) rather than coming under four categories (beer, cider, spirits and wine). HMRC said it will make the system fairer and responsive to new products entering the market as "consumer tastes evolve".
It added that small producers, including pubs and restaurants, will benefit from reduced rates on qualifying products, such as draught beer and cider the Liverpool Echo reported.
