The gross profit for the pub on that keg was about 20 squids. DIPAs are just expensive to make, especially for small brewers that lack economies of scale.

The main problem though is the UK obsession with drinking pints. Makes sense for a 3-4% ale, but what a pint of a CloudwaterDIPA?

Have you ever seen a Hoegaarden pint pot, DP?

They look like flower vases!

I haven't thought of the hilarious caption yet but when I do I'll be sure to get my coat.

Just been sampling Leningrad Imperial Red Ale from Chapel-en -Le Frith brewery (strong malty ruby ale, very quaffable) and Blencathra Smoked Porter from Hesket Newmarket (also very quaffable, not excessively smoky....I'm going to try it in a steak and ale pie or BBQ sauce some time). Cheers!

Well, 10% of the profits is given away to their employees as a bonus is not exactly a big deal as we don't know what they earn salary wise in the first place; they may be on the minimum wage! 10% to charity is fair play though although one feels that their beer prices may rise accordingly!
I'm pretty cynical these days....

Ok everyone, just had Tesco internet shop delivered and found a big error which is still there. I ordered a Duval triple hop @ £2.50 but it is actually for 12 bottles for £2.50! It shows this on my online summary emailed to me! Get in there quickly!

Nice cock.

My late great uncle always used to say that Courage was an apt name, as you needed a lot of courage to drink it.

I've just had a look at the accounts of the company I know best to remind myself of the figures. The amount of bonus paid to staff isn't declared publicly, but it's well above 10% of profits. If it was only 10% of profits it would mean that the company had had a terrible year.

10% of profit to charity is good - as long as the profit is OK. On the other hand, 100% of profit split between staff bonus, charity donation and reinvestment means that there's bugger-all left to distribute to shareholders. Which isn't so good.
