Beer, revisited


More :

I had one of their beers in Haworth last year, it was very good.

This is incredibly sad news.

One of my locals has gone from six real ale pumps to one over the last year, so I can see how companies are going bust, even the good ones.

It's obviously the stupidly high energy costs, coupled with taxes and supermarket competition. Although, I read that the other day that some brewers' output is back up to pre-pandemic level - Wadworths amongst others - so, although tough, there must be a way.

they're probably be bought by someone pretty soon, there seems to be a few groups buying breweries like this at the mo. obviously whether the beer stays the same, is a different question

When I think of situations like this, I think back to the dodgy brothers who bought Cains. A once fine range of ales become a laughingstock due to their cuts.

They'd buy the ingredients, not pay the bill, and their credit would dry up. They did this over and over, until they could only pay up front in cash for cheap rubbish.

The ale ended up being dreadful, so they got less money coming into the business - eventually, they folded.

yep, here is a very recent example - https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2024/02/breal-group-consolidates-brick-and-bbno-into-black-sheep/

they just buy the brand/beername(s) really, nothing else.
