In my (our) case in the NW it`s Holt, Hydes, Robbies, Jennings, and Lees. They have been doing it for hundreds of years - God willing, they will continue for hundreds more. If you want consistent good quality beer forget the home-brewers in their rented lock-ups on the local industrial estates.

Fantasti..."the yeast is behaving itself"<br /><br />Fantastic!<br /><br />This has always been mine and the other half's assumption about why certain breweries (e.g. Skinner's down our way) seem to have ups and downs over cycles of months, and it was definitely why Adnams's reputation dipped in the 1980s as recorded in the letters pages of What's Brewing at the time.Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-89401030783567831922017-01-12T15:04:47.744+00:002017-01-12T15:04:47.744+00:00Off-topic I know, but why do all your comments app...Off-topic I know, but why do all your comments appear twice nowadays TM?RedNevhttp://rednev-rearm.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-14612127314318348672017-01-12T14:32:57.348+00:002017-01-12T14:32:57.348+00:00Twice in my life I have been asked "Are you s...Twice in my life I have been asked "Are you sure?

And they've recently bought one of my local pubs, the Frog & Railway in Heaton Mersey. Pretty awful pub, tbh, but hopefully they'll spend a bit of money and improve it. Getting rid of all the posing tables in the front half would be a good start.<br /><br />And I had a succession of lurgies that left me feeling distinctly below par for three weeks up to and including Christmas, although it all seems to have passed now :-)<br /><br />Let's hope you're fighting fit to chair the bunfight at MBCF.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-7167227157175248012017-01-12T11:23:33.041+00:002017-01-12T11:23:33.041+00:00When are Lees doing a TAND collab ?When are Lees doing a TAND collab ?Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.com
