I brought a bottle in tescos, the blurb still claims the draught beer is brewed at the pub, I was given to understand they no longer run the Punchbowl. where is the bottled beer brewed ?

I know the beer is brewed at Marstons, Brains and Croptons, but I don't know which one specifically does the bottles beers. I'd guess Brains.
For the mass-brewed stuff, (Blonde Brunette) I would guess Marston's. Cropton do have a good bottling line, but only a 10-barrel brewery (2880 pints) so if MF are supplying national supermarket chains, I'd guess at Marston's (who have a large, high-speed bottling plant used by large micros & regionals, etc).
Any good?

Morrisey Fox beers are contract brewed at the Wolf Brewery in Norfolk. I visited the brewery in January with members of the Northants branch of CAMRA, and during our tour around the brewery we were shown the bottling line and several pallets of empty "Morrisey Fox" bottles ready to be filled.
For those who are interested, here is a picture of the bottling line:

I think they're brewed & bottled at a number of places, including the ones I mentioned above, but also Celt Experience / Newmans in S. Wales
- Wolf however was a new one to me! cheers MikeMcG (briefly brewer at Wolf, many moons ago)
I wondered where the "Wolf Brewery" was as I've just consumed several excellent pints of "Grandmother wouldn't like it", but I did ( at Weatherspoons in Bolton). Ken Ward.
who cares?
the bottle we did at a tasting panel meet - blind tasting - was really awful!!!
