I'm surprised how many respected brewers are on the JDW national list. Most breweries don't want to know unless it's a local arrangement. Even old regionals are included, Batham's never have, Holden's don't seem to have bothered for a while, I'm sure Bateman's XXXB used to be a regular but isn't on the current list, Harvey's never have and I don't recall seeing Hall & Woodhouse for a while.
I've checked the new national list and believe there are four new names on it, Brecon, Glamorgan Vale, Dukeries and Goddards. Let's hope it's not the kiss of death!!
