I agree. Second rate brewers, too.
A poor reason for rejecting the argument - what if they happen to be right? Does it matter that there are so few of them?
...an even worse argument....

No need for hand pumps when the future is keg.

Yes, she's a good read. "Bradley Cummings actually uses the phrase ‘I am the reset button’, which surely he has never said out loud keeping a straight face." "We need big ideas, not just tiny...
Interesting!
(Still can't stand Cwtch though.)

Thanks for the link. I thought the idea that carbon dioxide used with cask breathers would dissolve in the beer and make it fizzy had been properly debunked? [Is this what you mean about him getting...
Boddingtons Bitter is my favourite beer of all time - in its original manifestation of course. And I can vaguely remember getting very drunk on Old at the New Inn in Morecambe a long time ago...

Thanks for the link. I think he's hit the nail on the head with this: " Indeed, it could be argued that the very rise of “craft keg” makes the need to champion real ale all the more pressing." I...
Sure, I get that. My point was that the "answers" to the FAQs were simply putting forward the argument for supporting the changes. Where's the argument for not making any changes?
