Seems to be something about the Midlands that just isn't producing that type of brewery even though there have been start-ups. Not quite sure what the problem is, but suspect is must have something to do with location, whether it's economics/demographics, or just a lack of pre-existing brewing skill in these parts, i.e. brewers who have apprenticed elsewhere then go on to set up their own brewery near to where they're from/where they've already been working - so if there's no trailblazing brewery in our region where potential brewery-owners of tomorrow can cut their teeth, there's no impetus for those exciting breweries to open round here...tania_nexusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170308777551803844noreply@blogger.com
