Six things that have consumers buzzing in the world of beer, wine and spirits as we head into the weekend:
1. London Pubs Hope for Olympic Boost: The summer of 2012 has not turned out the way London pub owners had hoped. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Euro 2012 football championshipwere expected to provide a boost in advance of the Olympic Games .

London pub owner and brewer Fuller, Smith & Turner says sales in the 15 weeks leading up to July 14 actually fell 1.1 percent from the prior year.
