The resurgent British brewing industry makes it a great time to invest in new bar furniture, particularly for establishments whose existing fixtures and fittings have become a little worn and shabby.
SIBA, CAMRA and the BBPA have worked together throughout 2013 on a number of initiatives designed to boost the interests of the traditional pub industry in the UK.
Possibly the best example of this is the Let There Be Beer campaign, which focuses on the effect beer can have on enhancing a celebration, for those occasions when 'only a beer will do'.
Speaking to the APPBG/BBPA Reception at the Houses of Parliament earlier this month, BBPA board member Benet Slay said: "It's traditional, it's cultural, it's refreshing, it's amazingly diverse and, more often than you'd think, it's a perfect fit."
The campaign is just one example of the industry pulling together to promote the interests of beer as a product and pubs as a service - and their work is clearly beginning to have a positive effect.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne made the first cut to beer duty since 1959, earning the accolade of Beer Drinker of the Year in the process, and MPs in general have continued to support beer throughout the remainder of the year.
But it's not just within the UK that British beer is resurgent; Visit Britain have launched an international poster initiative entitled Pubs Are Great, in order to encourage inbound visitors to experience the hospitality of a traditional British boozer.
Benet Slay added: "Enjoying a beer in a British pub is, of course, in the top three of all visitor experiences for tourists to the UK. It's part of the essence of Britain."
That makes investments in new bar furniture not only part of the hospitality sector, but also part of the UK's ever-growing international tourism offering, effectively achieving double the value for every pound spent on new bar chairs, poseur tables and the like.
Best of all, tourists want to see British pubs as they have always been - meaning you do not need to worry about changing what you offer in order to attract international customers, but should instead simply stick to what made British pubs great in the first place.
