During the World Cup, England fans will face one of the highest beer taxes globally, with a duty of 54p per pint, according to the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA). This rate surpasses that of other Group L competitors, such as Ghana at 44p, and is significantly higher than Panama's 13.8p and Croatia's 12.6p. The BBPA is advocating for the government to reduce beer duty to the European average to make pints more affordable and encourage fans to gather at local pubs. The World Cup is expected to boost beer sales, potentially generating an additional £275 million for pubs. If England advances to the final, it could result in around 55 million extra pints being served, averaging 1,240 additional pints per pub. Emma McClarkin has urged fans to support their local establishments during this festive time. However, there are concerns about potential restrictions on pub hours, as many establishments may close before the end of matches that go to penalties, limiting fan enjoyment.
