David Le Quesne, the chief executive of Randalls Vautier, which owns 20 pubs across the Island, is calling on the Treasury Minister to reduce the duty on less potent brews and increase it on super-strength lagers.
He says that the price of a weaker pint could be slashed by around 15p under his proposals.
In the 2012 Budget, the States agreed to levies of 31p a pint for beer with a strength of 4.9 per cent or less and 47p for a pint of 5 per cent or more.
