Hotel chains like Premier Inn (prop Messrs Whitbread plc) will always have a central supply deal with one of the usual suspects and be able to buy their eurofizz at prices undreamed of by the free house landlord round the corner. And of course then sell it to their residents at prices that would get the guy round the corner lynched.
They could doubtless get local beer if there was the will to do it and I suspect some managers would be keen but stand no chance - that would require flair and initiative, not a character trait such corporates tend to encourage.
