"The hospitality sector is in the eye of that perfect storm." @UKHospKate spoke to @BBCBreakfast about the cost challenges facing venues, from rates hikes to employment taxes and energy costs. We need urgent action from Government to avoid business rates hikes in April.

The Government's hike in business rates is going to crush our pubs. The extortionate increase in bills for lots of pubs, coming in April, is simply not good enough. Email your MP now to let them know this is not acceptable: camra.org.uk/campaigns/help…

Our last cask only release of the year is the majestic Manticore! A symbol of sinful desire, and also in this case a deliciously fruit forward pale ale, single hopped with Hallertau Blanc for a wine-esque flavour profile with notes of tropical fruit and gentle floral overtones.

🍺 Pubs are more than a place enjoy a pint. They are the centre of our communities, helping to tackle loneliness & social isolation. 📰 Check out the heart-warming story of how the Bull in Brantham goes above & beyond for its community on @eadt24 here: orlo.uk/KwyW9

👎 Business rates hikes and increases in alcohol duties on top of VAT and other costs are set to hammer our pubs. 👏 A big thank you to @pippaheylings MP for speaking up for independent beer and pubs in Parliament this week. ✉️ Email your MP here: orlo.uk/p1egy

📢 Keep backing our business rates campaign to help save pubs from closure! ✖️ The Government MUST rethink this joke of a 'lower tax rate' system that is being introduced when the 40% rates discount is removed. 👉 Ask your MP to write to the Chancellor: orlo.uk/c40ko

🙌Thanks to @BenMLake Ceredigion Preseli AS/MP (Plaid Cymru) for speaking up for pubs in Parliament this week. 📈A business rates revaluation on top of rising costs, energy bills & national insurance increases could spell the end for pubs. 📣Take action to help save pubs! 🧵 👇

Year Of Beer 2026 👀🍻 We have an amazing year of cask beer coming up. Our Year Of Beer program is back, with a new or returning brew heading out each month to selected venues who have opted in. Which month's are you most looking forward to? 🤔

Today marks 20 YEARS since we took ownership of The Rising Sun! We're so proud of our pub - the heart of the community, a welcoming, multi-award winning space to showcase our beers, and a fab team, who like all of us now co-own the business. Read more: abbeydalebrewery.co.uk/the-rising-sun/

📢 Pressure is building on the Government to rethink business rates hikes for pubs in England. Thanks for all your help so far! ❗ The industry desperately needs the Chancellor to rethink these disastrous hikes before we lose more pubs. 📧 Email your MP: orlo.uk/MOpJD

It's clear that drinkers are tired of the limited selection of beers in pubs these days, dominated by brands from giant brewing conglomerates. A poll revealed 79% of people would go the pub more often if more exciting beers were on the bar. Read here: orlo.uk/2i8Xm

The Chancellors budget will affect both communities and the poorest in society. A pub is more than just a pint. A closed pub will lead to a chronic rise in loneliness, especially for the elderly.
