Thread Name: BS: Best Local Beer/Ale?
Subject: RE: BS: Best Local Beer/Ale?
I'm not sure if it is a penny a pint Tim but a certain percentage of the Brewery's profits are given to the Holt institute. It is apparanly part of their company constitution and written in such a way that it has also ensured that none of the 'big boys' want to take JH's over. Thank heavens:-) I don't know if it is completely true but a search on the web shows that Sir Edward Holt, of the brewery, did found the institute and the Brewery still send Cristies lots of money via varius fund raisers - Including between 10p and 20p a pint in some cases!
