IMO, the main cause is that the bottles you can find at some supermarkets are usually in a rather sorry shape (which ultimately, it's brewery's fault). In good condition, I really like Regent beers, specially the dark one.PivnĂ Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-16088551065172107122012-07-17T14:21:49.850+01:002012-07-17T14:21:49.850+01:00You made mention of it in 2010 when it was replace...You made mention of it in 2010 when it was replaced in the Tandle Hill by San Miguel but probably no one was paying attention back then.Sat In A Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123038980796000837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-9788938171117095662012-07-17T12:37:52.325+01:002012-07-17T12:37:52.325+01:00Funnily enough, it isn't.
