Welcome From The Editor

Editor’s Ramblings

What did you make of the Budget? Seemed like giving with one hand and taking away with the other to me, but what do I know?

Well, one thing I do know is that Beer Around ‘Ere is very much a team effort! We experienced a few teething problems with the last issue – if you can have teething problems with the 213th issue of a newsletter – but were able to overcome them due to a number of people going above and beyond the call of duty. Dave and Alan Binnington worked tirelessly to get the editions out to the various distributors as soon as possible while others, notably Dickie Bird who trekked out to the March area to deliver direct to the pubs, made valuable and vital contributions. (Dickie’s task was due to the fact that the longserving Mick Ryan is unable to continue distributing due to ill-health. We wish Mick well). Whilst on the subject of team efforts, I want to pay tribute to all our advertisers, particularly our “regulars” who have taken advertising space over the years and who continue to back us postpandemic, even though money must be tight and could presumably be spent on other things. It’s a fact that, without the advertisements, there’d be no BAE, so advertisers - we salute you! Please remember that pubs need our support more than ever at present – and I make no excuse for repeating this quote from Guardian columnist Zoe Williams: “If you really want to show your commitment to pub culture, all you have to do is visit more pubs, more often, and stay longer”. Here’s wishing a lovely Christmas and New Year to all our readers, contributors, advertisers and distributors. And – if you’re driving over the holiday period, please take care – ‘cos I’ll be walking! Good luck!
