I often have to stay in business/chain hotels in the UK. I've noticed that they're now making an effort to propmote 'local produce' where possible - meat, veg etc. Out of commercial instinct I suspect, as they've seen a 'local' bandwagon, rather than any sustainability motive. Yet I've yet to see any local beers on sale - indeed it's exceptionally rare to get anything other than InBev etc lagers and beers.

Any suggestions as to why? After all, they're very often courting overseas visotors who presumably want to try something local, rather than the brews they can get anywhere.
