00:00 Heineken dominates in London, Green King is top choice in the east of England and Tenet's
00:06 rule supreme in Scotland. What's your favourite beer of choice? Beer Day Britain falls on
00:11 the 15th of June to commemorate the signing of the Magna Carta and the standardisation
00:15 of the measurement of beer, ale and wine throughout the country. Nowadays though, there are now
00:20 more options than ever before when heading to your local. However, despite the range
00:25 from around the world to choose from, it seems we've retained a sense of local pride in our
00:29 pints. Locally brewed Bev's are the tipple of choice for most Brits, with Cockneys favouring
00:34 London pride and the Scots reaching for a Tenet more often than other regions. Having
00:38 a pint is almost synonymous with heading to one of the nation's world famous 46,000 pubs,
00:44 but our drinking habits have changed through the cost of living crisis and since the coronavirus
00:49 pandemic. Data from the Office for National Statistics shows Brits are buying 25% more
00:54 of their beer at supermarkets and other shops to drink in the comfort of their own home
00:58 instead of heading to the pub. But campaign groups say buying the drink anywhere is contributing
01:03 positively to the economy.
