What do we mean by independent, and why does it matter?

In this series of videos for CAMRA, Jonny Garrett sets out to explain the key issues impacting drinkers, brewers and pubs in clear and accessible language. He details why they matter for all of us and what we as drinkers can do about them. In this video, Jonny sets out to clarify what we mean when we as drinkers talk about supporting ‘independent businesses’. Jonny explores the benefits independents bring to consumer choice, and the brewing and hospitality industry.

“Supporting local and small businesses is a wonderful thing to do because it creates more jobs and wealth in a certain area, whilst enriching its culture. It’s a great way to ensure beer styles are made, more businesses are competing and our industry is more diverse.”
