Pubs sent an SOS to breweries for more beer this weekend after Bank Holiday revellers threatened to drink them dry.<\/p>\n

Landlords across the nation were forced to order extra deliveries to avoid a devastating booze drought on their busiest two days of the year. Beer sales rocketed by 50% as the nation knocked back an epic 120million pints.<\/p>\n

Around 65million were served up by bar staff as the heatwave and long weekend combined to create perfect beer garden conditions.<\/p>\n

And another 55million were savoured by drinkers at home.<\/p>\n

Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: \u201cWe\u2019re expecting the long weekend at the start of the summer weather to increase footfall and food and drink sales, both in pubs and the off trade.
\u201cPubs are happily welcoming people enjoying a pint this Bank Holiday weekend.\u201d <\/p>\n

It comes as the UK basks in temperatures hotter than 21C Benidorm \u2013 with highs of 26C expected later this week.
