I thought that the general pub goer might be interested in knowing how much it costs to keep the beer at the correct temperature.
These figures represent the profit from the first 10 pints of beer sold per day.
The bar staff represent 60 pints per day minimum on a 12 hour opening schedule. General heating and lighting at least another 20 pints per day, insurance at least 10 pints per day. It is estimated that legislation could now be costing the typical pub outlet £30,000 per year. That's 80 pints per day.
Many small community pubs just can't get to these volumes, no where near in fact.
These figures are not all based on precise scientific methods, but the ball park is not far away - the point is many customers just don't think about the costs that the pub has to cover for the environment that is provided.

This is interesting stuff. Suggestions we've made in the past that perhaps the rise in energy prices may impact on the price of the pint have been challenged, so it's interesting to see an actual breakdown. And of course, this isn't considering the energy that goes into producing beer...
