Which damns Cains with faint praise, as LOB regularly nail 'bloody amazing' in my book.<br /><br />I hope Cains can survive and they deserve a place alongside the local upstarts, but Cains don't exactly seem to be putting much effort in.<br /><br />Did they launch a new beer at the Liverpool Beer Festival this year, only for it to be universally judged as disgusting?bornagainsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06776517414202117663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-38789460880169903962012-09-26T17:26:04.497+01:002012-09-26T17:26:04.497+01:00David: they did the same to the Thatch & Thist...David: they did the same to the Thatch & Thistle which, in real ale terms, has never recovered.<br /><br />Birkonian: I remember trying their mild at the brewery before they launched it and really liking it. The brew they launched wasn't the same, but pretty good anyway. That was of course under previous ownership.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-52409963054748818732012-09-25T18:53:05.704+01:002012-09-25T18:53:05.704+01:00Poor beers, the one that I did like, Mild, is no l...Poor beers, the one that I did like, Mild, is no longer brewed. Liverpool Organic have stepped into Cains' shoes as the favourite local brewery.

Customers refused to drink their beer and went else where (my self included). Things got so bad in the end it actually had to close for a while. It's back in the Good Beer Guide this year, but funnily enough doesn't sell Cain's beers.David Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850704997797033266noreply@blogger.com
