Thank you: I'm on Bluesky & would be great to see you there: rogerprotz.bsky.social
Great piece by @RogerProtzBeer laying bare the sad story of how Heineken needlessly killed off the Caledonian Brewery while splashing the budget that could have saved it on the launch of a new mass lager brand, that then failed.

Blackshore stout @Adnams
Remembering that Diageo were only major brewer during the pandemic not to arrange a replacement scheme for there stock - advertising on FB for consumers not to worry as there’s plenty of cans in supermarkets!

Party season, a national shortage of Guinness, rationing. Pubs running dry by Xmas? Became top selling drink due to Gen Z, "influencers", Diageo laughing to the bank. SO MANY WONDERFUL INDIE STOUTS & PORTERS TO CHOOSE FROM!
