Britain expected to sell an additional 80m pints over Jubilee weekend
Britain is expected to sell between 60m and 80m extra pints of beer, and an extra 7.5m pub meals over the four-day weekend of the Jubilee predicts the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA).
Many of Britain’s brewers are also joining in the celebrations, with a growing list of commemorative beers being brewed to mark the occasion. Beers like Glorious Spitfire, Jubilation, and Elizabethan Ale bring together two of the very best of British – Her Majesty the Queen, and of course Britain’s world-renowned beers.
BBPA chief executive Brigid Simmonds said: “Here’s to a great Jubilee weekend for Britain’s pubs. When it comes to celebrating a great occasion, beer and pubs have so much to offer that says something special about being British. With so many great Jubilee beers on sale, I hope people visit their local to raise a glass to the Queen.”
