British pubs to sell up to 80m pints of beer over Jubilee weekend

British pubs are expected to sell an extra 60-80 million pints of beer and an extra 7.5 million pub meals over the Jubilee weekend.

That's the prediction from the British Beer and Pub Association ahead of the four-day weekend.

Several brewers have also produced special limited edition Jubilee beers to mark the occasion, including Wadworth's Queen's Diamond Jubilee Ale, Marston's Sovereign, and McMullens' Jubilation.

BBPA chief executive Brigid Simmonds said: "Here's to a great Jubilee weekend for Britain's pubs. When it comes to celebrating a great occasion, beer and pubs have so much to offer that says something special about being British. With so many great Jubilee beers on sale, I hope people visit their local to raise a glass to the Queen."
