Budget Beer Prices,

Recommended Posts

In the Past when the Chancellor has added 1p to the price of a Pint of Beer

10p is added at the Pump in Most Pubs


Well... the Chancellor has Deducted 3p from the price of a Pint..


Are we going to see prices reduced in our Pubs.


The excuse might be NO because they are using Old stock.

BUT when prices have been Increased in the past, the prices have gone up immediately.

I don?t assume for a second that reduced duty on alcohol will be passed-on to the customer, even though the phrasing from the chancellor stated that as the benefit to the man on the street.

Also, I?m not sure whether previous duty increases have immediately been passed on to customers against alcohol already paid for (therefore increasing profit margin for the outlet because duty was paid on current stocks at the old duty rate), or only passed on for newly purchased stock against which the new duty rate was paid (which I doubt, being cynical).

    • A couple of updates to this terrible event:   1) In 2021, two cousins (one from Penge and one from Streatham) were convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison. The Southwark News has a summary of the awful day. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/donnell-rhule-dulwich-knife-murderer-cousins-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-18-year-old/    2) Last week, a female prison officer from Forest Hill was sentenced to eight months in prison for pursuing a relationship with one of the two murderers while at HMP Brixton. https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/15/probation-officer-admits-relationship-prisoner-hmp-belmarsh-25501445/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38203627/probation-officer-jailed-illicit-relationship-murderer-secure-prison/
    • The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.
    • She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
    • Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!
