We are all doing our best!hic!
Britain now has more breweries per head than any other Country in the world.
Last year alone 1200 micro breweries were set up.
So drink up lads, we are all doing our best to increase employment and enrich the chancellors coffers.

My brother, Master Mariner and Master Brewer has just sold his Brewery in Knowlsley, `Aspinalls Cambrinous Craft Brewery`, purveyor of the finest Real Ales to the Northern Shires, to a Liverpool Brewery.
and retired.
It is still there for Five years then will be swallowed up. into the big one. and no more free barrels for me and my parties.
Cheers
Brian.

Re: We are all doing our best!hic!
Micro brewery must be the buzz word just now. They are also sprigning up here like mushrooms. But some of the beer is not worth a cracker, and bloody expensive.e of the descriptions makes you wonder what they are using to brew, A flavour of oranges that hangs on the back of the tounge, an infusion of herbs and spices is the first impression one gets with this beer. Advertising is now wnat it apears at times.


Happy daze John in Oz.
