"...we have perhaps not done much with it in the past five years"
Except change the recipe and make it sweet instead of bitter...

“A high percentage of our members now have tap rooms and they are becoming as important to local communities as pubs are,”
hmmm.....

The idea of taprooms is good but the reality is in some you are sitting in the brewers yard rather than a bar.Canopy is particularly bad.Weird Beard should have improved by now but it was when I visited sitting on pallets in the cold yard.
Went to Deviant and Dandy on Friday.Cold unheated railway arch but was warmed by the personality of the owner. Also went to Maregade .Enclosed bar but although there were only about10 customers the owners would rather mess about on their phones than try to make anyone feel welcome.
Another new one opening in London on 14th is Two Tribes .They have converted it to a modern looking bar with a brewery .That's the way to do a taproom.
Yes Canopy is bad, I visited last weekend and although I have to say the beer is very good, the place is pretty dire. We couldn't believe anyone could sit in the place and drink with the dreadful smell, so we took our drinks outside...
Was impressed with Bullfinch though
