Save Your Pint - Sign the E-Petition Now

Click image above to sign the petition

In this year's Budget the Chancellor put beer duty up by another 5%. Join the consumer fightback now and sign the e-petition to secure a Parliamentary debate and end the escalator!

Rising taxation on beer is a serious and growing threat to the future of pubs which is why CAMRA together with the ALMR, BBPA, SIBA and many others are backing a national e-petition calling for the abolition of the beer duty escalator. The escalator has seen beer duty increase by 42% since 2008 including a rise of 5% in last month’s budget.

Securing 100,000 signatures for this e-petition is a key aspect of our ongoing campaign to lobby the Government for the escalator to be abolished.

The e-petition needs 100,000 signatures in order to trigger a high profile Parliamentary debate which will put pressure on the Government to abandon the beer duty escalator in the 2013 Budget.

Pub Of The Year 2012 - Costello's

Friday, 13 April 2012
Trafford & Hulme CAMRA's Pub of The Year for 2012 is Costello's Bar in Altrincham. Although Costello's only opened in December 2010, with friendly staff and good service from the outset, it has quickly become a firm favourite with Altrincham locals and CAMRA members near and far alike. It was voted branch Pub Of The Season for Summer 2011 and was also voted Champion Mild Pub of Manchester by participants in the 2011 Mild Magic Trail.
