Plus, lots of post-BrewDog (but not handled half as well)marketing seems to be the rage at the moment, declaring all other beers apart from that one crap. It's misguided, as misguided as the notion that, thanks to dragons den, to be a successful businessman these days you need to be a complete twat. <br />What I get from it is further fracturing of real ale and craft spheres. One wonders if, as chris said, if it was renamed, rebadged, etc, further praise would arrive. As you say, the bottom line is this: 1872 is a great beer; on the day, the best beer. And that's what the award's for, isn't it?
