That is very good news ( as a regular beer drinker). However, if the government stops all alcohol advertising, Scotland puts a minimum price on alcohol and no doubt many other ways of stopping us drinking (so much), then no doubt some of these great breweries will go out of business. Very sad.

It might (maybe!) end up being a good thing for small brewers. Someone going out for ten pints probably drinks cheap lager, but someone who is going to have just one or two (as we are all supposed to do nowadays) may well be prepared to pay that bit extra for a quality microbrewed beer to really savour. We can always be optimistic eh?

Minimum pricing wont have any effect on over 90% of alcohol. No great breweries will go out of business unless you are like-minded with these young men:
