I know I'm not alone as other landords Ive spoke to no longer stock their products because of this.<br /><br />They should sort their act out and remember where the bulk of their consumers come from!<br /><br />Paul.Paul Joneshttp://www.mountainhare.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789818545139773561.post-62013865457526150042011-07-31T13:14:18.119+01:002011-07-31T13:14:18.119+01:00I agree with you about Black, a very decent pint. ...I agree with you about Black, a very decent pint. <br />So do we presume the Blacks' sales were encouraging enough to launch a named Stout? hopefully it wont be the end of Black<br />They'll need to price it better though to realistically compete with Guinness, even now in Tesco Black is more than it, and that wont tempt people away from it.arnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046512935179787759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789818545139773561.post-64202042621357334102011-07-29T21:47:09.335+01:002011-07-29T21:47:09.335+01:00Funny, I asked Brains the same question myself.

Its a different recipe to Brains Black according to the head brewer.<br /><br />I quite like Brains Black and was had a couple of pints of it last month with the head brewer in the Duke of Wellington in Cardiff. Even the canned version is surprisingly good.Brew Waleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292297218879265192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789818545139773561.post-8045028869054671412011-07-29T21:10:01.884+01:002011-07-29T21:10:01.884+01:00so is this Brains Black re-branded? or another sto...so is this Brains Black re-branded? or another stout?arnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046512935179787759noreply@blogger.com
