I've seen that happen often enough, despite pledges by the purchasing company that they won't change a thing.<br /><br />But let's hope you're right.

When companies get taken over it also isn't long before the staff start leaving so expect a bid soon from Chelsea for the head brewer, while Mr how cheap can we make this stuff accountant turns up as head brewer,if it has a head left.coxynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-29452753778694513262011-02-03T15:57:54.632+00:002011-02-03T15:57:54.632+00:00RedNev - same beer, brewed by same people, with th...RedNev - same beer, brewed by same people, with the same ingredients in the same brewery, how will that change the taste? <br /><br />It won't so it is good news for Sharp's, good news for Doom Bar and great news for ale to see serious investment in the categoryKristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641030168757305205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-49428616882280328332011-02-03T14:53:26.818+00:002011-02-03T14:53:26.818+00:00Yes, it would be good if the takeover of this brew...Yes, it would be good if the takeover of this brewery didn't result in the beer becoming more bland and easier to mass produce.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-39159967307422880912011-02-03T12:15:44.996+00:002011-02-03T12:15:44.996+00:00"I don't know if the brewery was still ow..."I don't know if the brewery was still owned by Bill Sharp". <br /><br />I now know it wasn't!Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-27303891119199400882011-02-03T11:12:27.331+00:002011-02-03T11:12:27.331+00:00Yeah I said that once with a hyphen (that wrong?) ...Yeah I said that once with a hyphen (that wrong?) then got fed up with it and found it easier to just write Coors.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-69727805241019721962011-02-03T11:09:31.882+00:002011-02-03T11:09:31.882+00:00Molson Coors you mean ;0)
