Hmm. A short round-up this week, it seems, as not much has really grabbed our attention.1. BrewDog has been declared one of the 25 most valuable beer brands in the world (https://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2019/06/28/BrewDog-breaks-into-world-s-25-most-valuable-beer-brands), ranking above Carlsberg, by Brand Finance. This feels significant.
2. We’ve just heard about Lab Culture (https://labculture.co.uk/our-story), a West Midlands brewery powered by the waste heat from the lights used in a vertical farming operation. This feels futuristic.
3. A new briefing paper from the library of the House of Commons (http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-8591/CBP-8591.pdf) includes lots of statistics on pub numbers, pubs per head, employment in pubs and so on.

4. There was a brief panic among beer geeks when it seemed as if Eurostar had set a limit on the amount of beer it was permissible to carry on cross-channel trains; Eurostar has since clarified (https://twitter.com/seatsixtyone/status/1143896272954413057) that the rule isn’t as draconian in practice as it sounded on paper.
We’ll finish this with a Tweet:
