I'm actually very tempted to do the same.winkle said:OK, I'm printing off a copy of that article and heading down to my local to demand SCB Rye ESB be put on tap. You can't stand in front of progress!
Since being bitten by the craftbeer bug last year, T old is all i drink if i go to the pub. all else is flavourless crap. I just say its coke cos i'm drivingDiesel80 said:I didn't used to mind the T-Old when i was a little younger. Mates looked at me perplexed when I came back with dark beer.
I reckon though, you may need to find a new pub. At least tell me they have the new full strength VB on tap?

Steamrail is actually brewed by Australian Independent Distillers who also do Haagen (if you can still get that slop) and Kingfisher amongst others. Actually the KF isn't a bad stab at the original, I inadvertently had a few at in Indian Restaurant last year. They are very hard to track down on the net, don't advertise their presence or push products, they are strictly a background operation - definitely the SERCO of the brew world. (SERCO, the biggest company in the world you never heard of).thylacine said:Are commercially successful "Craft Beers" increasingly under quality threat? (via take-over) ie. today I had another good look at 1st Choice's "craft/premium/import" beer section. BUL, Licensee, BUL ,Licensee, BUL, Licensee, BUL, etc. Most of the beers listed so far on this thread are BUL.
Links below illustrates the "transparency" challenges in today's market. eg. who brews Coles's "Steamrail" beer?
