Punters shocked as pub loses licence.

It seems Hackney is returning to its old ways:
The Dolphin (not me Guv, I only went in to check the grouting).
Dolphin loses licence.
Heart of Hackney (not visited by me due to it having a violent reputation from a few years back - and on passing during Lockdown I could see people playing pool).
Heart of Hackney loses licence.
Really? '...a “culture of fear” in which workers were bullied and “treated like objects” - doesn't paint the company in a very positive light, a company which claims The term ‘Real Ale’ and its definition no longer mean anything.
Same old story just a different company.This was reported on the Internet a few months ago so just bringing it to a bigger audience.Still wrong though.
The term real ale imo means nothing.Camra are happy to call key keg beers real ale when they are obviously not and happy to accept that beers like Doombar which no longer needs to be left to settle are undergoing a secondary fermentation.
I don't think so, John. The beer served from key kegs is not necessarily either pasteurised or filtered. This "explainer" says that the majority of KeyKeg beers are brewery conditioned. (This piece is more than three years old - have things changed since? And is there any progress on the recycling/re-using side of things?) Anyway, some key keg beers are real, some apparently are not.
The trouble with Camra's "keg beer bad, key keg good" is that as far as I know they don't (as far as I know) help the average beer consumer to make this distinction between live beer in key kegs and pasteurised and/or filtered beer when in the pub. I have rarely seen beers identified in pubs as being served from key kegs, and I don't think I've *ever* seen it made clear that a key keg beer is actually still "live". I'll be happy to be better informed on this point, though. Anyone?
Come On You Hatters!
