TWICB PODCAST Rob catches up with Alex and Graeme from Full Circle Brew Co. ISSUE72 SEVENTY TWO JULY 12th 2021 ISSUE 72 - 12 JULY 2021 Later today we’re going to find out if all Covid related restrictions are to be lifted next Monday, at least in England. The hospital- ity industry must hold its breath again and hope there are no last minute hitches. Fingers crossed that the long wait is going to finally be over and life will return to a new normal from next Monday. With the government adding more countries to the ‘amber’, list it looks like international travel is possible once again. However we will not be promoting our Grand Beer Tours until things have settled down some- what and the US is welcoming visitors once again. Don’t forget to keep checking the promotional pages in our Newsletters for details, and hopefully we’ll soon see you on one of our awesome trips.
