The line graph details the amount of beer sold to pubs and supermarket and the bar graph illustrates the total number of pubs in the UK between 2000 and 2016.

Overall, it is clear that the volume of beer sold to pubs which was dominance for many years, increased dramatically, while the reverse was true for supermarket, in line chart. Looking in bar chart’s detail, the number of pubs decreased noticeably throughout the period.

In line graph, the figure for supermarket stood at just above 10000 in 2000. This figure underwent a notable growth to marginally below 15000 by 2008; however, it decreased dramatically to approximately 12000 in 2012. After that, this volume witnessed dramatic increases to around 14000 at the end of the period. In contrast, the volume of beer sold to pubs were recorded at just under 25000 in the initial year. By 2004, this figure decreased slightly to around 23000, and then it declined sharply to precisely 15000, before falling dramatically to 12000 by the end of the period.

In bar chart, the total number of pubs in the UK accounted for just above 60000 in 2000. This rate experienced slow decreases to slightly under 60000 during the next six years, which was followed by marginally above 5000 in 2014. After that, this figure ended up with a gradual drop 2000 in 2016.
