The UK pub and brewing industry today called on the government to outline an urgent support package to prevent eye-watering increases in energy costs causing irreversible damage to the sector.

Last week the UK energy regulator said the price cap for millions of households in Britain would jump 80% to an average of £3,549 a year from October.

In a letter to outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson, members of the board of the British Beer and Pub Association called for a pause on levies, the introduction of an energy price cap for small businesses and additional grant support for pubs. "As more fixed price contracts come up for renewal this is only worsening. The time to act is now," the leaders of JW Lees Brewery, Greene King, Admiral Taverns, St Austell Brewery, Drake and Morgan and Carlsberg Marstons said in the letter.
