I believe that Tradition “Heart of the Community” pubs will prosper if landlords invest in decent real ale brews along side of the washing water that major producers churn out, real food, live music, and above all else a commitment by the landlord to the clientele to provide a safe, warm and friendly environment. With decent bar staff, fare prices and at least one decent looking bird.
and heres me thinking that you drank lager doug? was this a figment of my imagination? i try and please the customer but when the go down to the local supermarket and buy in there is nothing anyone .........only the brewery can do about it.if they are selling pallet loads of ale to them its one drop off, easy money but when you ask your rep for the same price you havent a leg to stand on? its all bo--ocks canning beer is easier than than kegging it and a lot more profitable. does anyone want to buy a pub?
