We often lament on here on the closing of pubs and breweries, right so. But occasionally it can indeed be a blessing.
Today i was looking through some of my old Nicholson canal guides for an up coming trip along the Llangollen canal over Christmas. I am not sure how old the guides are, perhaps late 80s early 90s, but the pubs en-route were still listed with the beers which they sold, unlike the modern day guides which just state "real ale sold here".
The most plentiful, i was going to type popular, brew along this route appeared to be Greenhall Whitley! What a dreadful brew GW was. I can honestly say i cannot remember having ever had a decent pint of the stuff.
So my nomination for "Gone and good riddance" is Greenhall Whitley of Warrington. Any more.
