	Public house Information
		Pubs are found in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and also, to a lesser extent, in the United States.
		Pubs are social places based on the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages, and most public houses offer a range of beers, wines, spirits, alcopops and soft drinks.
		The landlord of a tied pub may be an employee of the brewery—in which case he would be a manager of a managed house, or a self-employed tenant who has entered into a lease agreement with a brewery, a condition of which is the legal obligation (trade tie) only to purchase that brewery's beer.
