Who will buy 160 pubs ???????
I've not got any sympathy for Brains owners. There has been mo investment in their estate for years and they have either sold off pubs already or converted them to coffee shops(now owned by Cafe Nero).
They will use the pandemic as an excuse. I reality its bad management.
Well I hope they show honesty and say this is the reason for their culling and not play the covid card. In my opinion they’ve accelerated the decline by actually making a lot of their pubs unattractive to punters, then using the inevitable falling sales the reason for turning them into blocks of flats.
Haven't most breweries been shutting once decent pubs over the last decade?
If they don't make a profit then they shut, people pre covid drank far less in pubs than they once did and there's only so many pub grub type places that are needed.
Post covid it's far worse.
The UK has moved on from pubs.
Youngsters as a mass don’t really care about going to the pub as much as 40+ do
Cheap alcohol and WhatsApp has offset its biggest selling points
The younger generation don't drink as much,either. They're not culturally programmed to sit and drink in a pub like generations before. Pubs were great for the community on plenty of levels, sadly, that side of community is almost gone, especially is the poorer areas of the City. In the more affluent areas there is still a 'Pub culture' although probably not like it was 20 years ago.
I think you are right, there has been a huge cultural swing away from sitting in pubs. At my age, memories of Brains beers and pubs were the norm until you had 30-40 brands of lager coming on the scene. No difference in taste and freezing cold. Never been my cup of tea ?
Can’t say I know much of Marstons beers but let’s hope the economic impact on Wales and jobs is minimised.
God knows we are getting more than our share of bad news
Its hardly a surprise, 4 pints costs a lot more than 4 cans
I like pubs, they beat drinking at someone's house, but if you don't have much disposable income but still want to go out, you'll drink cans round someone's house before going out rather than drinking in the pub
Horrible beer , throw it in the taff
Pubs have had it anyway , apart from the ones that do good food in the one room and have the boozers in the other
No money in a few old fellas coming in for a couple of pints , bars , cocktails are where the money is now
Dear me, shopping online, gambling online, drinking in the house, more and more televised sport, working from home, Just Eat!I’m glad I lived in the era I lived in, we’re heading into a world full of strangers, no bugger will be mixing with anyone else.
I find sitting in a pub boring
And drunk people very boring
I would rather sit in a coffee shop
