Here engaged in extensive research (someone has to do it!) @LoSBrewery founder Ian Rydings is standing as a Director for CAMRA’S NEC. If you’re a CAMRA member Ian would appreciate your vote - you can do that here; https://t.co/BvsO9UUqwt
@staffsbrewery@drinksmaven@teamdb@SIBANational I think in our region it might be mainly very small outfits with therefore little consequence to production volume. Certainly we’ve (unfortunately) not seen any massive gaps opening up!
@CarpeZytha@staffsbrewery@drinksmaven@teamdb Good luck with variety, choice and local provenance with that kind of thinking! Indie brewers currently fight it out for about 10% of the beer market when in a freed up market they’d be providing 30%. You might not want a “local brewer” but plenty do.
@staffsbrewery@drinksmaven@teamdb The @SIBANational tracker is properly researched. The number is actually higher (these are net figures and there are still crazy folks opening new breweries!) Here’s the regional breakdown of the net reduction.
Chuffed to see Old Leigh Ale picking up a @SIBANational Regional Gold in bottle. Our best ever “drink by a roaring fire” beer. No stock at the moment but will be rebrewed for National Final @SIBA_BeerX in March. Look out for it!
On Saturday August 23rd I’ll be playing a solo set @LoSBrewery as part of the Indie All Dayer Festival.

Dear @SadiqKhan@TheVanaramaNL@TfL
Oldham play Southend on June 1st at Wembley for a place back in the Football League. Both clubs have huge numbers who want to attend and support their team, just like Palace, City, Forest, Villa and Liverpool fans have this season without issue.
Because of engineering works the suggestion is a restriction on numbers as Wembley Park station will be closed. This is neither the fault of either club and the proposed cap on supporters, many of whom will be visiting Wembley for the first and maybe last time are being unfairly punished.
The record for a NL playoff final is 47,000. It's safe to say that without restrictions this record would be broken, but any cap would not only be unfair to supporters who don't often get the opportunity for a Wembley day out but would probably not be implemented would this be a Premier League or England national team game.
Clubs in the pyramid need every opportunity they can get to shine, compete and grow their supporter base and Wembley is always an opportunity to do so, along with stimulating support in the communities of Oldham and Southend respectively. Mr Mayor, as we have followed each other for some time on here, I'd be more than happy to set out a thousand reasons why it is important for both clubs to be fully represented at Wembley, and should only be afforded the same privilege as any club, namely to "fill the damn place".
National League and EFL clubs are hamstrung enough in this day and age where the top of the pyramid rules, I hope between you you could find a sensible solution to allow Oldham Athletic and Southend United supporters their day too.

Good blog by Matt Curtis here.
@GOVUK policy makers and @CMAgovUK cannot keep turning a blind eye to the anti-competitive state of the corporate-dominated #UK#beer and #pub market.

SS9 poured great @NERAX - some great comments. But this visit not just about that. Good to meet the folks out here and find (no surprise) they don’t all support the madness…
Having a top time pouring (and drinking!) @NERAX in Boston. Great welcoming crowd including new beery friend Pete of @Backbeatbrewco - we’re hoping to get there as well during our trip. Anyway #LegraPale has travelled well!
