Regulation 23 Requirement to change a guest beer brand

A pub-owning business may give written notice to a tied-pub tenant to change the guest beer brand (see regulation 20(1)(a)(ii)) where the pub-owning business has reasonable evidence that a guest beer brand under regulation 20(2)(a)(i) has exceeded the production level of 5,000 hectolitres in a production year.

A pub-owning business must include in their written notice a fair and reasonable timescale to change the guest beer brand.
