Another brewery goes bust

[scotty123]

Cains brewery in Liverpool has gone bust owing the tax man millions, only had a few pints of Cains before and it was very drinkable so something has gone drastically wrong, there will be no small independent brewers left at this rate
Whats making it worse is there is 100,000 pounds worth of beer left in the vats and it going to be poured away!!!

There are laods of thriving brewerys too, ones that actually make decent beer. So many specialist bars are popping up stocking local ales and great beers from across the country. The reason caines went bust is because it tastes like shit

If you pay the taxman I'm sure you could take your fill, the tax on a pint of 5% beer is more than 50p then you have VAT too. It's no surprise to see pubs and breweries struggling.

Small breweries are a actually major success story in this country in recent years. Cask ale production overtook keg for the first time a few months back.

Credit where credit's due, Gordon Brown deserves great credit for this, reducing the levels of duty on breweries operating below certain annual volumes. It's really made a difference in what is a uniquely British manufacturing industry.

Cain's is an example of a business ran poorly rather than any evidence of a deterioration in the market. It's sad that Liverpool doesn't have any widely recognised breweries. Higson's, which was brewed on the same site, was a great pint until Whitbread closed it down after they acquired Boddington's in 1990.

Someone will take that site though, no danger. It's a beautiful building and is well located for redevelopment. I doubt if it will be a brewery again. Flats/hotel/cinema etc will be the order of the day I reckon.

I hope you are right about small brewers mate, love some of the beers that you can get in certain Manchester hostelries all independent brews, these big brewers could learn lessons off them as their beers are going rank and i try not to touch lager (premium or not)

It's to do with conditioning, I had an interview with ABInbev and they were very proud of getting Stella ready to drink in about 3 days, it reduces storage space required, it also means there's very little chance of getting any depth of flavour into your beer.
