The English pub (and its beer) is unique in the world. It has evolved over centuries, providing hospitality to millions of fellow citizens.

It is an essential and integral part of the English culture and heritage. It varies from the merely utilitarian, to places that have

spectacular social or architectural heritage.

Some may take pubs for granted, but their very existence is threatened by government regulations and tax, the ravages corporate take-overs

- and by mass apathy of the public. Pubs are our special social habitat. Use them or lose them - once they are gone, they are gone.
