The Bar Towel

If Victory or Rogue got this kind of thing when they arrive here, maybe they would sell better...

I can't believe he actually said "there is very little competition in the premium beer category". I'm sure Peter and others would have something to say about that.

I won't get into some of the iffy statements made in the article but I will say Welcome Fuller's (officially) - please send me some 1845 for Christmas.

My favourite iffy statement: "His company [Sleman's] brews or distributes a wide range of English-style beers."

I'm all confused. I can go to Scotland Yard and get a pint of ESB and London Pride, and can then go next door to The Esplanade Bier Markt and get a pint of London Porter. In the same vein, I remember buying London Pride and ESB at the LCBO about 6-7 years ago.

So why does Chris Robertson make it sound like this is something new? I mean I'm very very happy about the announcement, but isn't this just a re-introduction, with a chance at permanent availability provided it sells well?
