Some things are worth more than the numbers on a spreadsheet.
PintStash stands with Britain's brewing heritage. We stand with the people who built it. And we stand against the steady dismantling of the breweries, pubs and traditions that make it ours.
We are sick of watching Britain's brewing heritage treated as a collection of assets to be bought, consolidated, rationalised and eventually stripped of everything that made them worth buying in the first place.
A brewery is people, craftsmanship, history, pride and place. It's the accumulated knowledge of generations. It's an entire community whose story is tied to the place where the beer is made.
Carlsberg Britvic has proposed closing Marston's historic brewery in Burton upon Trent. The proposal is subject to consultation. The company has its commercial reasons; we have our own view of what should matter.
When a company becomes custodian of a piece of British brewing history, it takes on more than brands and production volumes. It takes on a responsibility. Not everything of value can be relocated, rebranded or replaced.
We're not prepared to shrug, mutter about the way things are going, and watch another piece of it disappear. PintStash stands with Marston's, its people and the campaign to save the brewery.
Whether you've signed already or you're seeing this for the first time, there's something worth doing.
It takes a moment. The petition belongs to its organiser, Simon Harvey, and signatures are collected directly by Change.org — not by PintStash.
Your signature matters. Getting more people to sign matters too. Join PintStash, share the campaign, and help turn one act of support into many.
PintStash I STOOD UP — special campaign collectible.
This is the I STOOD UP collectible for PintStash players who support the campaign to save Marston's Brewery.
Not points. Not a prize for having the right opinion. A little piece of digital history that says: when this brewery needed people to stand up for it, I did.
And once you've got it in your Stash, the idea is simple: share it. Let someone else ask what it's about. Give the campaign one more chance to be heard.
The petition is independent of PintStash. PintStash does not collect or verify Change.org signatures. The campaign card will require a separate claim mechanism before it can be awarded automatically.
Sign it. Share it. Tell someone. British brewing history belongs to more than a corporate portfolio.
