Hurrah! Some good news at last. Apparently, the brewery is to be saved:

Good news and that's a great read.I look forward to some Easy and Pale Rider in future.

Splendid.

Oddly, I came across the person who would become known to us as Aqualung in his local, six years before his first PuG crawl; initially I thought it was Bill Bailey propping up the bar.
Skinner's goes into administration.

Very sad news. Always enjoyed their beers when staying in Cornwall. You would hope it can be saved, but no guarantees in the current climate.
Betty Stogs was an early favourite when I first got into the pong 20 years ago. It's still nice now, though I don't see it very often these days.
I can live without Skinners but the bigger picture is established breweries falling by the wayside.
