The Nursery Tavern Lord Street Coventry owned by Black Country Ales is now open. The transformation is amazing.

Great article in @PrivateEyeNews about the resurgent, independent Jennings Brewery.

Would be great to see the same happen at Sharps in Cornwall.

More should be done to prevent remaining UK #cask #heritage falling into the callous hands of extractive globals.

Just back from Inverary, they brew some good beers.

[The Vernon Arms @VernonArmsL2]

Avalanche from @FyneAles is a pale ale with Cascade & Liberty hops.

Punchy, clean citrus & grassy hop flavours with a balanced, bittersweet finish designed to quench the strongest of thirsts. It's on the bar @VernonArmsL2 now.

The Burton Union Brewing Process in action brewing Jaipur at @Thornbridge Brewery. Well done to Thornbridge for keeping this age old process going after being disbanded by previous owners. Photo taken during recent visit by Hinckley Camra branch.

So instead we see the last resort for a debt-laden pubco.

Good, profitable (just no longer profitable enough now that the tenants are doing ok!) pubs simply sold off, with the long-suffering tenants (who generate all the wealth) thrown in as little more than goods and chattels.

[The Swan, York (Chair @CampaignforPubs) @theswanyork]

Presumably this is because a Section 25 no fault eviction is not an option any time soon.

After all, that would be the normal way of dealing with a pesky tenant who has had the temerity to secure a Free of Tie deal and thus secure themself a fair income from their own business.

[The Swan, York (Chair @CampaignforPubs) @theswanyork]

Why would a pubco seek to flog off 23 #pub freeholds along with good long term tenants?

Surely not because these are fair Free of Tie leases which no longer allow the excessive profit extraction that underpins the entire over-leveraged tied pubco model..?
