Why would a pubco seek to flog off 23 #pub freeholds along with good long term tenants?

Surely not because these are fair Free of Tie leases which no longer allow the excessive profit extraction that underpins the entire over-leveraged tied pubco model..?

Good blog by @totalcurtis.bsky.social here.

Policy makers and the CMA cannot keep turning a blind eye to the anti-competitive state of the corporate-dominated #UK #beer and #pub market.

🚨The UK beer and pub sector is in crisis, buckling under ever rising costs while still being brazenly hollowed out with full government consent by a toxic asset-sweating/stripping 🏴‍☠️ cartel of pubcos and global brewers.

So it's good to see our main trade journal focusing on the big issues as ever...

@privateeyenews.bsky.social is the ONLY news source to have been consistently right about the #GreatBritishPubcoScam over the years 🍻

Just as they were about the #PostOfficeScandal 📮✊

We REALLY need the rest of the media to wake up to the havoc being wrought on #pubs, #livelihoods & #communities ⚠️

Every #beer we recently received from Mallinsons has been absolutely superb.
This Jester is no exception.
An absolute cracker!
All #pubs really should have fair access to wonderful local independent #beers like this.

Here's Brad from @craftbeerchannel.bsky.social supping a pint of our very own Swan Session Blonde in the intro to Pt6 of their brilliant #KeepCaskAlive documentary series. 🍻

Fascinating & hugely worthwhile film project with a valuable @unesco.org goal.

Check it out! 🎥

Or even better...

If you can watch the #SixNations in your local #community #pub then why not enjoy each match with loads of friends and a proper hand-pulled pint or two of the stuff!
😊🍻

This!
We met business Minister Justin Madders yesterday to relay our grave concerns at #CampaignForPubs about systematic anti-competitive practices in the UK #beer and #pub sector, and huge consequent #wealthextraction by offshore private equity propcos and global brewing giants.
