The guide features 55 pubs from all corners of Great Britain, including The Green Man run by Great British Bake Off (GBBO) winner Candice Brown,
Chelsey Wroe, Head of Sustainability at Heineken UK, said: “We know how passionate Brits are about their locals, so we’re looking for seven individuals with a keen interest in sustainability to take that one step further and enjoy a closer look at the pubs featured in our inaugural Green Pub Guide.
“With four in five consumers changing their spending patterns based on an outlets’ sustainability credentials, we want to see what effect this choice has on pub-goers’ experiences, and that’s where our Green Pub Testers come in.
