Outlets who participated in the Save Pub Life initiative, as well as those who stock the brewers’ leading portfolio of brands, can access these resources through Budweiser Brewing Group’s Save Pub Life platform from today, at www.savepublife.com.
The brewer is also launching re-opening events and initiatives fronted by its much-loved brands, to help drive consumers into pubs and bars over reopening weekend and beyond.
Ryan Fritsch, On-Trade Sales Director at Budweiser Brewing Group UK&I says: “We are thrilled that the nation’s pubs will be able to welcome customers safely once again and know that this sentiment will be echoed by venues and pub-goers alike. Since the beginning of the crisis we have sought out ways to support the sector. Save Pub Life provided cashflow when pubs needed it the most, yet the sector will continue to face significant challenges.
We’re proud that we will continue to provide support throughout the re-opening phase and beyond, leveraging our iconic brands and providing useful resources to help venues reassure pubgoers, drive footfall and build sustainable businesses. We are committed to driving growth in the sector in the immediate and long term, utilising innovation and our strong brand portfolio.”
