    It's more to do with the number of pubs it's in than whether anyone likes it or not. If you're in a All Bar Chef and Hungry Horse Beefeater Toby Vintage Harvester Sizzling Ember you're bound to get one of that lot.

    I'd go for Tribute above Landlord if both were on the bar, and eurofizz if the choice was of the other eight.

    No wonder the investors feel stung.

    Greene King strikes go ahead over Christmas & New Year’s Eve

    https://www.unitetheunion.org/news-e...ew-year-s-eve/

    3%? How much have beer prices risen over the last year? And that's without publicans squeezing their margins. Greedy King indeed.

    Thankfully a lack of Greene king beer won't effect me one bit, not the point I know.

    Nostalgia alert. How things have changed:in the 70's I remember that Watneys in Norwich were on strike,with the pubs running out of beer-disaster for a first year student.In this pub,https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/28732/, Greene King rode to the rescue with a firkin of that well know exotic beer IPA on the bar.

    Now, and for a long time, they are the villains.(Except for XX Mild and Strong Suffolk.)
