In the first quarter of this year, overall sales were down 7.2 percent year-on-year to 1.5 billion pints, the body said in its latest"Beer Barometer" report.LONDON - UK sales of beer have slumped to the lowest level on record because of the coronavirus outbreak, trade industry body the British Beer and Pub Association said.

In the first quarter of this year, overall sales were down 7.2 percent year-on-year to 1.5 billion pints, the body said in its latest"Beer Barometer" report. The BBPA said the fall was"entirely down" to sales in pubs and bars, which were down 16.4 percent compared to the same period last year to 668 million pints.Prime Minister Boris Johnson called time on pubs, bars, restaurants and other leisure facilities remaining open on March 20, three days before he ordered a nationwide lockdown.

He acknowledged the closures were"extraordinary" and took away"the inalienable right of freeborn people of the United Kingdom to go to the pub". BBPA chief executive Emma McClarkin said the latest figures were"stark" and revealed the"devastating impact" of the virus outbreak on breweries and pubs."The cliff-edge impact on our sector, when people were told to stop going to the pub and then when they were shut down, is clear to see," she added.Source
