NineteenYears in the “Good Beer Guide” and
still going strong!!
It seems amazing actually that we've been
doing it that long but the books don't lie, I suppose!
Over the years, we've presented countless
Ales and developed friendships with Brewers from across the
country. And, sadly, seen some fine Breweries disappear.
Happily, we've also seen a wide range of new Breweries emerging
and adding to the reputation of Cask Ale and enabling us to
continue the good fight.
That "fight" is a necessary one.
The old Beerage Monopoly may have changed its shape but not
necessarily its spots and where there were brewery chains there
are now Pub Chains. Invariably tied to a small selection of
Breweries and working from a restricted Portfolio.
That seems to have succeeded and people are
now more aware of the beauty of quality beer and the commitment
that brewers can make to producing a quality product.
Malt Whiskies, Russian and Polish vodkas, Rums and virtually any other form of alcohol
from across the world complete the array!! It's dirty work but
someone has to do it!
In that time, we have also followed on with
our interest in European Beers. Which means that we now have at
least
40
European beers in bottles
from
Belgium, Germany, Austria, The Czech Republic and Poland.
And on Draught, Classics such as
Hoegaarden and Erdinger now sit alongside
Bitburger from Germany and Palm from Belgium.
And it goes without saying that that effort
would have been in vain if it hadn't been for people on the
other side of the bar insisting that 5 day old, chemical fizz
isn't necessarily their idea of a good night out.
Without that support, none of this would
have been possible so much of what we have done is down to all
of you who have helped fight that good fight.
