KIRKSTALL BREWERY TAKES ON THE TETLEY 🚩🚩🚩🚩 Kirkstall has announced that it is taking on the lease of The Tetley, with plans to make it a hub for great beer from Leeds and renew its status as a “landmark of Yorkshire beer culture”.

Hello
@RachelReevesMP
, how do we get these clowns to actually reveal the evidence re curfews? Ourselves and other hospitality friends have spent thousands on making our venues almost hospital-standard safe but we’re still being lazily punished because we’re an easy target

Well that’s a very unsubtle ‘fuck the north’ isn’t it? Tier 2’s not much fun either, stay open with 120% overhead, 40% turnover and 0% customer confidence, despite thousands invested in keeping everyone safe. Thoughts with our friends and customers in Manc x

Some of you may have noticed the new style door at the Taproom today.
Someone came after closing time last night and decided to come in anyway.
Everything is fine but we are sad to report all our Monster Munch have been stolen.
This is not a joke.

It’s absolutely nothing to do with shaming supermarkets. It’s the demonisation of alcohol that every policy seems to entail. I just want to see one scrap of evidence that our incredibly well-policed hospitality industry has had a detrimental effect on the current situation

If you're cutting back on alcohol, many pubs (including ours) stock a range of alternative options. If you're giving a plant-based diet a go - same story! When you support your local pubs and breweries, you're supporting the people there too, so let's look out for each other! 2/2

We don’t have the private, fat-funded lobbyists that most industries do but our industry is the essence of community. I only want an answer to the question ‘if the heavily-policed pubs aren’t actually the issue, why are we being treated as such?’
