Alphonsin 1 Posted September 18, 2006 Sorry if it's elsewhere. John Young, chairman of Young's, the brewer, has died of cancer. A takeover is quite likely, apparently. I don't drink bitter, so am not too fussed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't drink bitter, so am not too fussed. Young's brewery are situated just 3 miles from where I grew up. Last time my wife and I went to London we went on the brewery tour. I have a couple of bottles of Young's Winter Warmer in my fridge as well as a couple of bottles of Double Chocolate Stout. They still deliver the barrels of beer by horse & cart to every Young's pub within a 3 mile radius of the brewery. Alphonsin, do you have a web link for that? Edited to say: just found the report in The Telegraph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alphonsin 1 Posted September 18, 2006 They still deliver the barrels of beer by horse & cart to every Young's pub within a 3 mile radius of the brewery. Unfortunately they stopped that just recently. They still have the horses, though, which are good for doing PR shoots with etc. It won't be too long before we have a limited edition Young's glue, however, once they can't maintain the we-still-deliver-by-dray pretence...

It was a real pain though if you were on the bus on a monday morning stuck behind the horse & cart. I remember they used to deliver all the way down to The Castle in Tooting and across to the Half Moon in Putney. Tom their Shetland pony is really sweet, I got to feed him which was great fun.
