Support the people behind the pint: Long Live the Local!

Almost a million people make a pint possible - from scientists, farmers and draymen, to delivery drivers and the many thousands who work in our nation’s pubs. They have faced a tough few years, and they have worked hard to continue to serve our local communities. But Britain is still one of the most taxed places to have a pint.

Nearly 1 million people make a pint in a pub possible. The pub is the beating heart of communities across the whole of Britain. But outside its walls, there are nearly a million people behind your pint who take it from hop to glass, including delivery drivers, farmers, logistics workers, brewers, technicians, cleaners and of course the bar staff who hand you your pint.

Pubs and brewing supports nearly one million jobs across the UK, including farmers growing hops, brewers developing new recipes, scientists working on quality control and logistics teams managing deliveries.

Beyond the UK, millions across the globe enjoy a British beer with friends. The UK is one of the biggest beer exporters in Europe, with British brewers exporting the equivalent of 874 million pints in 2022.

The brewing and pub sector is a core part of the UK economy, supporting £14.3 billion in wages. We want to show the people who make up the large economic figures… to show the passion and skills of those in the sector who make a pint possible, not only to celebrate them and the work which they do to deliver the pint which Brits enjoy with their friends and family, but also to show politicians that support for the sector is support for their voters.
