CAMRA has 1m beer mats for pubs to promote scrapping of duty escalator

The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has a million free beer mats available for pubs to order to encourage customers to sign an e-petition asking the Chancellor to scrap the alcohol duty escalator.

The mats say: “George Osborne is taking a third of your pint in tax,” and include a web address for the petition.

Pub packs contain 100 beer mats and five posters, and can be ordered from claire.cain@camra.org.uk.

CAMRA has launched a new microsite at www.saveyourpint.co.uk, where people can find more information.
