This afternoon walking through the old underground beer storage at St Pancras this afternoon felt a bit Poignant. Given the news yesterday that Carlsberg Bitvic are to close down the brewery at Burton. Ending over 200 years of history. Not only the site is going but they are also ending a number of brands inc Marston's and Bass. The brewery and brands that once filled it.

The same was in Ossett, although they're attached to the town hall railings..
This afternoon, after my mini pump failed when needed on a ride this morning along with a club-mate's which also didn't work, I checked the collection of mini pumps I have. Another three are in the bin, including the one that's been attached to my commuter bike for the past two years. My guess is that rain and dirt have got in and degraded the materials.
And I also bought two fence brackets.
SWMBO's away again and my life is really exciting.

Carlsberg have now shut Tetleys, Jennings, Ringwood, Wychwood, and Banks, with Marstons next on the list. That's some record for demonstrating they don't have the slightest idea what to do with smaller regional brewers and cask ales.
Yes they sure have form for this every time they take over things they can’t wait to put the for sale sign up. Diageo big trun round plan is investing in key brands. Carlsberg’s plan is to go the other way. Hence why they bought britvic. The beers that they are keeping look to be ones with stand out bottle designs. Tasteless but look good on side of vans. This will effect many smaller breweries as they send beer to be bottled at Marstons bottling plant which is also going.
