I'd be really surpised if a boutique brewery got started up borrowing millions on refurbishment etc with the mission of make a fancy place where we rip off pretentious people. Give people some credit for sincerity.

I'm not young and I'm too old to worry about an image but if I walk in to a city pub and don't see wide choice of beers on tap, particularly craft beers from the local area, I know I'm walking into an establishment run by people who don't take what they do as seriously as I want them to.

Don't worry it is just Brian being his usual grumpy old self.

I get the impression Brian was once a rough, tough, member of the working classes who could break the top off a tallie of XXXX and skull it in one go, straining the glass with his teeth.

He is now a crusty old conservative who sits at home watching his property investments and managed funds grow while sipping boutique beer. But he likes to play the internet QLD yobbo on here as it makes him feel less of a class traitor.

(just kidding Brian )

Seriously there's a lot of drivel on this thread.

Real beer people know that if you want a PROPER drink you drink Guinness
