    That's that then. Give it 12 months before production is moved Burton, the staff sacked and the site sold off. The beers will be nothing like their former selves and be quietly withdrawn due to lack of demand.

    It will end up being taken over by Greene King who will close it down in order to stop Doom Bar taking over from GK IPA as Britains most ubiquitous pint.

    The BBC article states:

    Molson Coors said it was "100% committed to real ale and cask beer at Rock" and the brewery there could be expanded as a result of the deal.


    Ah, Nick you beat me to it. The MC statement sounds like the equivalent of the football club chairman's endorsement of the manager two weeks before he's sacked.

    Or the CEO of Kraft after the Cadbury takeover. That does make it hard to believe these sort of promises. Would be nice to be proved wrong for a change.

    It's all too complicated for me but I'm pretty sure it'll end in tears.........
    Pubs are a hobby, real ale is a passion. Oh, and like me dogs, fear no evil..........

    Ruddles
    Boddingtons
    Deuchars
    Theakstons (for a period)
    Hardy & Hansons
    Morland
    Gales
    etc

    Need I say more? Although the example of M-C's stewardship of White Shield may prove me wrong.
