Is the Locale scheme a good thing or bad thing?To my way of thinking on the good side it can promote new/small breweries in local pubs, which I guess is the main idea,but in London for example Fullers is "Locale",a brewery hardly needing extra promotion. On the bad side,in my area anyway some pubs embrace the idea believing ,if its "locale" it must be good,which isn't
always the case, therefore ,I quite often can find pubs in my locality with a couple of usual suspects along with guests" of exclusively Locale" choice to the exclusion of something more interesting from further afield.So in summary I could do without it. What do you think?
