0 a company that owns a chain (= group) of pubs in the UK: --
A "beer tie" obliges landlords to pay high prices to the pubco for their supplies in return for cheap rents.
I looked into about 100 pubs over a year, tied and untied pubs, and a pubco pub just seemed too financially risky.
That means they have to buy their drinks from the pubco suppliers, too, at a huge premium to market prices.
