We didn’t get to visit the House of Commons last week when our beer was on sale. We were busy as whatsit making beer and the pre-budget report put me right off politicians and the government. (Should that be with a capital ‘G’ ?) The PBR made headlines with the reduction in VAT but the snakes also sneakily brought in another hike in duty on beer. When will Gordon and his crowd give up hammering the pubs in this country? Give us a break Gordie!
