wet rent
wet rent n. a levy paid to a brewery by a publican in a tied public house in proportion to the amount of beer sold (see also quot. 1907).
ΚΠ
1907 F. E. E. Bell At Wks. v. 122 Some of the yearly benefit clubs of which the head-quarters are at public-houses demand..an extra contribution, from 1d. to 3d., what is called the ‘wet rent’, which is quite deliberately allowed for drink each meeting-night.
1967 Economist 29 Apr. 480/2 The Jones board has implicitly accused the brewers of subsidising too many low volume country pubs, by charging less than the market rents but rather more for their beer, a practice known in the trade as a ‘wet rent’. In actual fact, wet rents are steadily becoming proportionately less important, and the brewer's idea is to protect the publican against the ups and downs of trade by charging him, in effect, a rent that varies slightly with beer sales, thus identifying his interest more closely with that of the brewer.
1978 Times 3 May 19/6 The brewers..continue phasing out ‘wet’ rents under which a tenant pays more or less to the brewery according to the amount of beer sold through the pub.
