The Spirit World

 

In the UK the pressure group CAMRA, the Campaign For Real Ale, has just released new research showing that a shocking 26.6% of pints served in pubs are short measure by more than 5%. This is costing consumers a whopping £1.3 million every single day. 

It might not sound like much but over a busy week, stretching over a month or longer this can build up to a nice little ‘extra’ margin for the landlord. I’m not for a minute suggesting that all under-filled pints are the result of unscrupulous landlords but it makes you think. As a consumer I ask for a pint and expect to be served a pint.

CAMRA is taking its campaign for full pints straight to the top, by launching a national full pints petition addressed to the Prime Minister. Please add your name to our full pints petition at www.takeittothetop.co.uk.

CAMRA has taken an advert in Monday 16th’s Guardian newspaper and another is planned for Friday 20th April. This is the first time in CAMRA’s history that they have placed campaign adverts in a national newspaper. Together we can put an end to short beer measures.
