UTC has demolished a few pints of beer himself over the years but he was witnessed openly weeping during a recent Zoom call with his colleagues when he learned that the British Beer & Pub Association had unveiled a formal protocol and guidance to help pubs to destroy beer in their cellars and claim the duty back on unsold beer without falling foul of the lovely man from HMRC.
The auld yin disappeared halfway through the Zoom call to visit his local boozers to see if the landlord needed any help getting rid of his surplus beer. Selfless to a fault.
