Pubs and brewers across the UK are in danger of closure within months, industry bosses have warned.
The recent spike in energy bills of 300% means that some pubs will struggle to pay bills and even find suppliers willing to power their venues when contracts come up for renewal.
Bosses at six of the UK's largest pubs and brewing companies have signed an open letter to the government, urging it to take action and avoid "real and serious irreversible" damage to the sector.
