True. No one is choosing to sell that in this day and age. Maybe somewhere but it’s hardly a surprise it’s hard to sell beer like that and then also being tied in to a brewery. Such a fucked up system really.

Loved this piece — you captured the soul of the pub and Peter’s story beautifully. It’s a reminder of the quiet heroism in everyday life, and how places like these are more than just buildings; they’re the heartbeats of their communities. Thank you for sharing this.
thank you, I appreciate that! and I definitely agree, they are far more than just buildings and really are vital to the community (especially the smaller ones)
Food for thought. In a different time, pubs were our newspapers, our social gathering spot, our network of friends, and a place to let down our hair, grab a pint and a bite. I wish them well, in our changing world.
I have another I want to write about how pubs have always adapted if you look at their role across time, which makes me just slightly more optimistic about their future, but still bleak
Id be inclined to say that if he serves Carling then it’s his own fault😂
haha definitely not ideal I'd agree, but then again he might have to because of the beer tie!

Coors? Really?! Ugh
Great story, as usual! I hope the pubs survive- what a difficult business- not fun and games, like we assumed.
I know the Coors was a surprise!

Changing times for sure—wish them well.
