Whitbread are one of those mega companies that bought up a lot of very nice small breweries and "standardised" their product lines... to the lowest possible standard obviously.

Cellar temperature is fine, there used to be a pub about two miles from me which had a cellar where an underground stream ran right round it.

Ever try Boddingtons or Holts? Boddy's is smooth whilst Holts is a really bitter Bitter, and their breweries are only ten miles apart using the same watersource. They're both local breweries for me with good coverage of most of Britain.

If you're ever in Edinburgh, try and track down "Auld Reekie" in the hundred shilling version, which is so black it sucks the light from the immediate area and it takes about five minutes to pour a pint.
