The Government is now providing you with free Beer (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

Following the cut in excise duty yesterday, if you drink 310 pints of Beer you'll now get one free  (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/cheers.gif)

No you don't...
(From the other Tax thread)

Quoting: FUBAR
Token gesture isn't it, all the Breweries have still put their prices up this year anyway so the only people who will actually benefit from that 'drop' are the Breweries themselves. The Pubs will still put prices up by 5-10p a pint.

Apart from Burgess Brewery in Northampton, they don't get any benefit.

£3.40 in my local, and that's after the landlord having held the price for 2years in a row even though the brewery keep putting it up. It's not so much the tax killing off pubs, the breweries are doing their fair share of it!

Again, prices have been at that level for at least 18 months.
