I don't know why they persist with it. I used to be all for keeping old brews going somehow when breweries closed their breweries to become pubcos, or were taken over and asset stripped, or some other money-grubbing atrocity took place. I now feel that the brands should be killed off when the parent goes; that includes then likes of Young's or Brakspear's, where the contracted out replacements are half reasonable. Most of the time the replacements are awful, look at say Morland's or Boddington's - and give the whole Trade a bad name.

That's an excellent point ,very well made.I would go as far to say that it gives real ale a bad name.
