Licensees would "naturally" need to cover their overheads on a smaller volume of beer, that's fair enough. They might even want to put some prices up to deterrent levels, to stop the good stuff running out. But putting pre-emptive price increases down to 'supply and demand' is nonsense - it's not as if drinkers were roaming from pub to pub, willing to pay any price for the last few drops of beer.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009879034507926661noreply@blogger.com
