Recent trip to Ireland, so saddened to see every single bar have the same slotted in Diageo brands, hardly any difference, no matter how much ´character´the building had.
These small breweries need protection.
Heartening. Visited Cockermouth many times when we were looking for places to live in Cumbria. There's a footpath through the brewery yard and it was abundantly clear not a penny had been spent on the fabric of the place for very many years.
It was all very folorn. Grass growing out of gutters and walls - handwritten sign saying brewery tours no longer took place. Hardly a soul around either. This was in 2021 & 22. My assumption was that it was being run down to sell to developers to exploit the beautiful riverside setting

I may be a bit thick but what happens to Jennings pubs or have they already been sold off?
