I’ve probably mentioned this before, but Daniel Thwaites’s Star Brewery in Blackburn was the first brewery I visited. <br /><br />It was one of the most modern in the country at the time (1974), and considered to be really state of the art.

They must have been in negotiation for some time but were somewhat economical with the truth. <br /><br />History tells us that they won't last long as a pubco. You only have to look at their neighbours and one time rivals Mitchells to see what happens in these cases. Greene King have been stalking Thwaites for years and this move can only embolden the likes of them.Sat In A Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123038980796000837noreply@blogger.com
