Should Craft Beer be sold in Working men's clubs?

Back in the day when I lived with my Mum and Dad and I was paying around £1.30 for a pint of lager in the pub, my Dad told me they had a promotion on Heineken in "the club" at 89p whilst stocks last. This was around November and it was expected that it'd be gone by Christmas, but the regs carried on drinking what they always drank and they still had it left in March

Rolling the clock forward a little and they brought this new German beer in called Becks, again on promotion at £1 a pint
My Dad drank around five pints on a Saturday night and pretty much collapsed at home
The beer was eventually taken off sale as it was too strong for the punters
 
I spent every Sunday in The Hebers in Middleton as a kid after being dragged in by my old man.
Gave me a certain appreciation for the world at a very young age. Some great blokes with great stories.
I knew the guy that covered Middleton for Whitbread in the early ‘90s. Former public school boy! Middleton and Prestwich was his area. Lots of social clubs on that patch. Good rep he was too. Punters loved him. Think he does the same job for a regional now.
 
It's all about increasing the variety of flavours? Personally can't stand grapefruit beer, for example. Chocolate Stout on the other hand is a winner.
Yes, I like some of the dark beers generally, but the craft market seems to be nearly all IPA (hippy/gassy) with bloody fruit in it.
