[46.philh]

Increase by 2 per cent above the RPI on 28 March 2011.
This will add 4 pence to the price of a pint of beer, 15 pence to the price of a bottle of wine, and 54 pence to the price of a bottle of spirits

Government will introduce a new additional duty on beers over 7.5 per cent alcohol by volume (abv) in strength at a rate of 25 per cent of general beer duty.
This will add 25 pence to the price of a can of super strength lager.

I really do feel for landlords/landladies at the moment.
The recent VAT rise and now this.

Only one thing for it....................brew more!
Just don't be taxing my malt!!

I'm all for supporting the real ale pubs, but it's getting stupid. I'd rather stay at home, and not have to pay £25 for a taxi to Burton and back, then pay more tax on beer.

I hear what you are saying muddy and I will continue to support the local pubs in my village that stock real ale.

I don't pay any VAT on my malt.......saying that, I haven't seen the invoice for my latest pick-up yet :pray:
