I bet he is! Good luck to them - they've always seemed a very consistent, quality, professional micro to me.

I wonder how sales will go, I know CBoB is normally a huge boost, but it's a style that many landlords & drinkers (even enthusiastic real ale drinkers) don't really appreciate. (see the moans from Landlords on The Publican & MorningAdvertiser websites - "Mild - uurgh!" was one comment - "Is it a political decision from CAMRA?" was another). All the more good stuff for the rest of us. cheers MikeMcG
