The roots of the good old British pub lie, as do many things with our Roman ancestors.   In “Tabernae”   it was not uncommon to find the local legionaries mixing in with the new citizens of the empire.  It isn’t until the mediaeval period that we would start to recognise the kind of pubs we have today.    During this time pubs began to spring up throughout the country. Finance for Pubs like those from www.specialistbusinessfinance.co.uk/hospitality-finance/finance-for-pubs is still very much in demand today.

Pubs owe their existence to a surprising source. Monks and nuns were concerned about the quality of water that people had to drink.  They realised that one way of ensuring that the water was safe to drink was to add hops, malt, barley and wheat. When this was fermented it created beer.  This beer was then thoroughly enjoyed by the locals.  However the monks and nuns made sure that not too much was made available.  These were known as ale houses and they soon became popular meeting places for hard-working rural Farm workers.

The supply of beer and spirits became much more freely available following the dissolution of many convents and monasteries.  People were free to create their own drinks and sell them to ale houses.   The government in the 14th century realised this could lead to a social catastrophe and began to insist that landlords had a licence to sell intoxicating spirits and liquor.
