🏚️ #CAMRA has declared the unlawful conversion & demolition of pubs in England a ‘nationwide scandal’, following the high-profile case of the Crooked House.

We believe that great pubs have immense cultural and historical value here in the West Midlands - and we should be taking steps to protect and preserve their heritage.
The reaction of so many of you to the tragic fire at The Crooked House tells us we're not alone.
We’re on it.
Shameful – at East, England
Sadly, following the fire at the weekend, it's been confirmed today that The Crooked House has been completely demolished. The Express & Star reports upon it here...

All of us at Dudley & South Staffordshire CAMRA are devastated by this news

Absolutely heartbreaking, absolutely appalling.
@MarstonsPLC @AskMarstons you should hang your heads in shame. Disgusting you sold this unique historic #pub to developers. Speaks volumes about you as a company.

The fire comes days after it emerged Marston's had sold The Crooked House Marston's to a 'private buyer for alternative use' itv.com/news/central/2023-08…
It is good to see an organisation battling to protect pubs rather than taking sponsorship from certain companies who are a blight on the industry. – at East, England
The UK Government is showing how little it understands & cares about #pubs. The overall impact of today’s duty changes are to force most prices up. It’s Government created inflation at during a serious cost-of-living crisis. Extraordinary. Pubs need direct support i.e. lower VAT.

Shameful dishonest rubbish, surely this breaches the Civil Service Code?!
It’s one thing for politicians to pull the wool over our eyes, but for #civilsservants to undermines the principles of the Code!!
The changes overall put #pub prices - & inflation - UP!
⬆️❌🤷🏻♀️🤬#pubs
The Brexit Pubs Guarantee starts today.
Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt popped to the local to explain how it’s designed to help pubs & keep duty on a pint down.
Watch to find out more 🍺

We’re very concerned the serious threat to #pubs from the High Street Rental Auction proposals. Pubs must be exempted or it gives carte blanche to shut pubs threatening the history, heritage & character of our towns & cities. Our letter to @michaelgove ⬇️

A second fermentation in the container gives cask ale its depth of flavour. This conditioning doesn't just rely on us though, the pubs who serve it to you have to have great cellar skills to get it right! Let's celebrate our brilliant publicans who keep their cask tip-top!

We're starting Saturday with 173 of our British beers remaining.
Don't forget that we have two rows of stillaging - you might need to have a look below the line of the bar to see everything that's available!

Jeremy Hunt makes a silly (and untrue) gag about British #beer being warm but beer duty being frozen. 🙄
It’s more of the same approach from this Government, providing most support to global brewers & giant pubcos, not #pubs, #publicans or #smallbrewers.
