BRITISH pubs could rake in a massive £32 million if Trooping the Colour was designated a bank holiday, beer bosses believe.
The British Beer and Pub Association say an extra 6.5 million pints would be pulled, pouring £5.5 million into the Treasury in VAT and £3 million in beer duty.
Booze bosses called for the King’s birthday to be marked every year with a three-day weekend.
Emma McClarkin, Chief Executive of the BBPA, said: “This weekend was a celebration of British tradition, nation and community.
“Our pubs are central to that story—bringing people together and boosting the economy.
“A bank holiday would not only honour our heritage but deliver a tangible economic and social dividend as communities come together and raise a glass to Beer Day Britain as well as celebrate everything that is great about Britain.”
She added that ministers should support pubs with a long-term plan that includes a cut to beer duty and fairer business rates.
