Pubs around the UK are closing at an alarming rate. In rural areas, when the pub goes, a key community hub and place of support and celebration disappears with it. Pubs can be the glue that keeps communities together.
Is it possible to save a pub once it has gone? Yes, it is. But it requires the whole community to support and a few hardy souls to really roll their sleeves up. They need to take action, but they need to be savvy too.
This episode of Nant Fawr Brews features the story of the Miners Arms in Nenthead, Cumbria. This much-loved pub, thanks to the efforts of interview guest Laura Seaton, Mac and many others... is in the process of being saved.
There is so much to like here. And so much to learn. If you live somewhere where your local has shut, or is under threat, then this is an essential listen. You'll pick up solid advice and the right steps to take and in what order.
And if, like me, you love beer and pubs and like to hear about good people doing positive things... settle down, grab a nice beer and prepare to have your mind inspired and your heart warmed.
