    Enjoy a pint of cold, refreshing Canadian Coors Light lager today. Imported into the EU via the EU/Canada Free Trade Agreement and/or brewed under license in the European Union.

    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      Is that the Coors, which is headquartered in Burton, UK; brews in Alton, Burton & Tadcaster - or some other Coors?

        Is it British though?

          Would that materially alter your original premise?

          Are you trying to claim Coors brew beer here (where I listed), export it, then re-import it through CETA?

          You have finally lost the plot. Perhaps have a nap?

              Rightio, firstly, Alton: Old brewery site to be transformed | News | Alton Herald

              They are actually based in these 3 sites:

              Warrington, England
              Burton-on-Trent, England
              Tadcaster, England

              Secondly it's not a British beer really is it? Originally made by a German and is now an American company but the European HQ is in the Czech Republic. There there is this slight problem: Coors Light uses three different hop varieties from the Pacific Northwest, Germany and New Zealand. So how is that trade deal looking with the EU, the USA and New Zealand? Why is Wetherspoons advertising what is basically a foreign beer?

                Gosh, I'm glad you took the time to replace 1/3 of the sites I listed in England, with Warrington, that changes everything!

                To answer the 3 direct questions you posed;
                Is an iPhone an American product, or Chinese? (Not that it matters, similar to your 'British' question)
                The trade deal(s) is/are ongoing, given no agreement has/have been reached thus far.
                I believe spoons are in the business of selling drinks, of which Coors Light is one, which patrons may want to buy, thus generating revenue for spoons.


                Are you aware, that there are plant cultivation techniques & equipment, which allow growers to replicate a multitude of growing conditions for a variety of plants?
                Are you aware, that by brewing beer here in England (in the places you & I listed), it doesn't have to be imported, as your OP asserted?

                I'm sure the market share leader in the UK, will do their level best to ensure they get their raw ingredients, to ensure revenue generation.

                  I'm currently drinking Üli Bier (Reverenz). And jolly nice it is too. Always good to support your local breweries.

                  Probably never available in the UK. OTOH, plenty of awesome British beers will never be available here.

                  I remember when Witherspoons at Liverpool St, had 20 different beers, with 15 of them changing regularly. Is it still like that? Or just Coors?

                    I live just down the road from this place: https://maruhn.shop/ with around 1300 beers to browse through
