Why are most of new pubs/bars that open crap?

You've put into words something that crossed my mind as soon as I saw this thread. However, there's always the odd exception, Wigan Central and The King Arthur for example. The King Arthur had the Batham's Holy Trinity going on Friday, Mild, Best and XXX.

Thank god for the odd exception! The King Arthur is a great pub.

You are spot on with your comment on Black Country Ales opening good new pubs but they are usually conversions. I am looking forward to Seven Stars.

Also looking forward to The Colmore

I'm looking forward to the Seven Stars more! Hopefully it will be a 12:00 opener so I can bypass the bonrshaker.
Digressing slightly, I read that the Stourbridge & Halesowen CAMRA branch is going to have their GBG allocation cut yo 10 making it an even bigger headache choosing the pubs. Meanwhile, other areas don't deserve the allocation they get eg: Aberdeen and large parts of London.
