[quote:2bhg5nvb]Your cynicism astounds me. What kind of message is this we're sending to the new members?

I like to think of it as a David and Goliath scenario.[/quote:2bhg5nvb]
I'm not being cynical, I'm being flippant...

On a serious note there's a huge market out there and even to make inroads of a fraction of a percentage into the Big 3's market share is an achievement not to be sneezed at. It's not necessary (and not realistic in the short/medium term) that Goliath fall by the wayside for smaller brewers to prosper, and for drinkers looking for quality to benefit from that.

welcome aboard boy! Just joined recently myself. Have to endorse your comments about the Abbot alehouse!!!
