Antic to expand and launch its own beer
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Antic, the London pub group that owns the Dogstar in Brixton, is set to expand from 16 to 24 sites.
Its founder, Anthony Thomas, said that the expansion would be paid for out of cash reserves rather than debt, and should help take turnover from £14m to £17m this year. The group has also bought equipment from the Meantime Brewing Company to produce its own bitter. This relatively low-strength beer will be sold at an inexpensive price in all Antic pubs.
