A bad year for that era of Aussie cricket with Warney going back in March.

Born in Birmingham (I believe) played for Gloucestershire as English but didn't want to play for England, controversially, and left when called up for Australia A.

I agree. Very sad news that. Have any reasons been given ?
Fortunately other local craft beers are available and we don't need to resort to the generally average fare produced by the big brewing companies.

The reason given - "Despite the enormous effort from everyone on the team, the reality of the current economic situation for our customers and the hospitality industry has made it impossible for us to operate profitably".
The full statement and history of the brewery is to be found on page 22 of last Thursday's Echo.
