The British Beer & Pub Association estimates that four pubs are closing down every day and that the rate of pub closures is 14 times faster than in 2005. There are just over 57,000 pubs in Britain today, compared with 69,000 pubs in 1980.
Beer sales in UK pubs, relative to other outlets such as supermarkets and off licenses, have been falling for 30 years and according to the BBPA, beer sales over the bar are at their lowest since the Great Depression.
