In reply to Wayne. Er... I am in CAMRA and there is nothing wrong with my zip-up waterproof

WTF? Who gives a shit about whether this is a craft beer. Next you’ll be buying an anorak and joining CAMRA!

This is a lovely golden ale. Was pleasant at the first sip and was still pleasant when the barrel ran out.

Would be excellent on a Summer’s Day.

In reply to LandL0rd. My home brew meets that definition and I wouldn't call that 'craft beer'!

In reply to Dave. Just because it's old, it doesn't make it a small batch beer brewed in a traditional way

In reply to LandL0rd. 'Factory' is a bit harsh. Greene King's Westgate Brewery opened in 1799 and can trace it's history back to 1086 where 'ale brewers' in Bury St Edmunds are listed in the Doomsday book.

Despite the Morland branding this is brewed by Greene King in their factory. Seems a bit if a stretch to class this as a 'Craft beer'
