Was it wise to start off a pubs magazine in the teeth of a worldwide recession? Surely, back in 2010, the first thing people would cut back on would be entertainment, spending a night or two more at home and having a couple of pints less when they actually dared venture out.
That wouldn’t be the best grounding for a publication that relies totally on commercial support from pubs, breweries and ancillary businesses, would it? But we did – and we’re still here 49 issues later with one of the biggest-pagination publications yet.
We have to thank those sponsors, advertisers and commercial supporters for their confidence and their vision in wishing to be involved in such a venture.
