AIUI they are saying that 10% of Boddies is still brewed in Manchester. So

90% is keg then? Sigh!

there's a piece on ThePublican.com - see here -

it has some cracking quotes from InBev on the defensive (yes, I know!)

The InBev spokesperson to me also seems to suggest that Boddies is brewed only in the NorthWest (i.e. cask beer at Hydes, and the keg at former Whitbread, now InBev/Interbrew in Salmesbury, Lancs rather than Magor, S.Wales as previously mentioned) anyone know what the truth is?

I just read elsewhere on thepublican.com that InBev & SAB want to join the NOFIBs (National Organisation For Imported Beers - a trade group promoting authentic imported beers) - just in case you need reminding they're the companies brewing amongst others Welsh Belgian Stella & Polish Czech Pils Urquell ;~)

No, I don't understand either.
