Competition watchdog should probe dominance of big brewers, say campaigners

A new report released by Camra, the Campaign for Real Ale, asserts that small, independent breweries are currently being excluded from pubs and bars. Consequently, campaigners are calling for the competition watchdog to launch a formal probe into the market dominance of big brewers. The report highlights the systemic barriers preventing smaller producers from accessing retail outlets, suggesting that the current industry structure unfairly favours larger corporate entities over independent brewing operations across the country.
