    That's business these days, a failure in business used to be a thing if shame, now its an opportunity to asset strip and write off debt and start again.... LBC has regular " happy " sounding adverts these days saying " did you know you write off almost 82% of your debt ? " ... so, looks like...

    It's pretty despicable these days, go to Belgium ( If only we could ! ) and in the supermarkets you get a superb range of beers mostly under 1.5 Euro's a bottle. When last I went,even the Westvletteren 12 ( Best Beer IN The World) was still affordable at the café opposite the monastery.

    I could get 8 cans of Scrumpy Jack for that, insanity.

    They tend NOT to show the prices online, A couple of large ( 400ml) cans will tuck you up for £9 but they are nice. I'd suggest getting a couple of cans for openers and then by the time your taste buds have been anesthetised, move on to Punk. They did a special on some British Organic White...

    Unbarred's Joosey Pale will make a more than adequate substitute, trust me !

    They do a range of cans in The Bottle and Jug Dept, by the railway crossing, had the Mango Pale ale and that was scrummy, The Joosey Pale, very nice too, I recall a collaboration beer I think that was a Peaches and Cream fruit pale which went down well. Only had a couple of their cask beers but...

    So, are they going to change the name to Unbarred Taproom and throw out all the Holler Boys Glassware ?

    Well that's a right ******* ! I only managed one trip to the Holler Tap Room and now I won't get back before it closes. It will be dreadful if the Holler beers are never brewed again as they were cracking.

    Read the article, quite an interesting read, I certainly see where they are coming from. It seems when there is money to be made, scruples go out of the window as usual.

    Without being snobby, your £55 gets you about 11 halves I would reckon, I'd have no problem doing this thanks to my overseas training in Belgium, however I won't be going. I would suggest that the Hanover Beer Festival( 4th-5th October ) will be far better and far cheaper because the beer won't...

    I doubt it has been bought to be closed down. Brand names and products change hands quite frequently and you would be surprised who owns what when you follow the trail of company ownership.

    10 years ago in Cornwall I was drinking St Austell HSD, now the last few years its Proper Job, insipid Doom Bar never got on my radar.

    When CAMRA was formed there was virtually no understanding of what was being brewed abroad and put in to kegs. Here in the UK keg beer was boring and bland and awful and was the coming thing for convenience for the big brewers. with the explosion of travel and trade since the 70's I think so...

    If only Brewdog just got on with it and brewed rather than trying to gob off and act like brats all the time, you don't get this crap from Kissingate or Thornbridge.
