“No Beer with Keir” by Mr E Guest: Country with a Cause
Mr E Guest delivers a timely and witty new country track, “No Beer with Keir,” blending classic storytelling with sharp social commentary. Rooted in Country tradition, the song takes a light-hearted tone while addressing a serious issue close to the artist’s heart: the steady erosion of the UK’s historic pub culture.
Inspired by growing public concern, the song responds to new taxes and policies introduced under Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government, which critics say are forcing pubs to close at an alarming rate. For Mr E Guest, Britain’s pubs are more than businesses—they’re cultural cornerstones.
With humor, charm, and unmistakable British character, “No Beer with Keir” turns protest into melody. It’s an easy listen with a deeper message, proving that sometimes a catchy chorus can shine a spotlight where it matters most.
