APPBG report shows COVID impact on pubs, and the supply chain
The All-party Parliamentary Beer Group (APPBG) has launched a report to show the Government how the COVID crisis has impacted the industry.
APPBG Call Out
Andy Leman from Timothy Taylor Brewery
In March 2021 the APPBG put out a call for evidence to understand:
“The importance of cask ale to the UK’s brewing and pub culture, to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on cask ale sales and to ask how Government, brewers and pub operators can work in partnership to ensure the revival of real ale in the UK.”
More than 30 individuals and organisations responded. APPBG chair Mike Wood MP (Con, Dudley South) chaired a virtual hearing held on 15th April.
APPBG Report and Responses

It’s not only about the facts and figures. We have been talking to our customers throughout the lockdowns and the emotional impact is devastating. We’ve all talked to each other about the situation, the effects on sales, the changes that we’ve had to make. At Faram’s we’ve made a few videos and Podcasts with brewers and suppliers discussing just that.
It saddens us to see empty, unplanted hop yards, brewers pouring beer down the drain, and pub gardens blocked with entry tape
This APPBG report is not a shock to us but provides valuable data in a definite, unarguable format.
Page 15 of the report shows readers specifically how the agricultural suppliers have been impacted. You will find a statement from us in there.
In the summary recommendations, the APPBG report sums up the heritage as well as future consequences for not only brewing but other industries.
