The Fair Pint Campaign Supporting tied landlords and consumers
Half of Britain’s pubs are tied to pubcos. Even though tied landlords could buy cheaper beer - they are tied to the pubcos for their supply.
Tied pub landlords must buy all of their beer and some other supplies from the pubco.
Consequently the consumer is usually paying a significantly inflated price for a pint of beer, and tied pub landlords are being forced to sell beer at a loss.
Around 35 pubs a week - or five a day - are closing.
It’s time to call for a fair pint.
Visit our news page for the latest developments and see how the Fair Pint? Campaign is raising the profile of this important issue.
Show your support and keep up-to-date with the campaign's progress by talking part in our Parliamentary lobby day, or make a donation online - every donation helps us increase awareness of the pubco tie and its impact.
If you run a pub, you can publicise the campaign - and the benefits for your customers - by ordering our "a Fair Pint" beermats.
Together we can ensure that tenants can compete in a fair market, lowering the cost of a pint for both landlords and consumers.
