Odd & sad if unconirmed & unaccredited report (*) that Refresh/ Wychwood/Brakspear last month ceased brewing Braskpear Special.
Anyone closer to the source got any more info?

Still listed on their web site Mike.

Aye & no mention on Refresh's site or the Brakspear pub co site (now owned by JT Davies).
Still I can't believe Wikipedia is wrong though ;~) TTFN Mike.
Wikipedia is not a "primary source". Every information on a wikipedia page should be backed by a reference... that news about Brakspear was not, so after reading this thread I removed it from the page. (BTW anyone could make such corrections, even if he is not regsistered).

Hi Max, good on you for editing the wiki entry - I wonder where it came from?
I previously edited the same entry a while back when there was a load of nonsense up there about the dropping system (which now seems to be known as the 'double drop' for some reason) though pro-writers have also made a mess of that one before - saying that the beer spent several days in the upper vessel, rather than simply being dropped the next day.
I've just corrected the bit about refresh having 2 brewing plants at Witney - they have one brewhouse & 2 fermentation rooms (one with the Brakspear 'dropping vessels') cheers MikeMcG
