"Making alcohol-free choices more accessible is not just a public health question. It is also about providing customers with choices they genuinely want & ensuring that pubs can afford to offer them." What can alcohol-free beer offer pubs & customers? ➡️ias.org.uk/2026/10/27/can-pu…

Yes, Britain’s railways are a mess. But is anyone sober enough to care? | Zoe Williams

Took my drinking away from the pub yesterday and tried the bar at the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis! A cute little bar in the corner of the seats! There is an upstairs bar too which I will try next time I visit! #beer

Visit to the Birds and Bees, Stirling! I first visited this pub while at the @Acad_Marketing conference in 2018 - as I’m here for another conference it felt appropriate to visit again!
