Doom Bar alone came in at 237,400 while the lowest was Ruddle\u2019s at 28,500. A hectolitre is 22 gallons. These beers generated total revenue of \u00a3488 million.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should not be surprised. These brands are all made available to the large pub chains and are supported by substantial advertising budgets. In most cases however, to be fair, some of these beers when served in good condition are perfectly acceptable.<br><strong><em>Tony Hedger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spotted this in the February edition of CAMRA\u2019s newspaper, What\u2019s Brewing and I thought that readers might be interested, if not slightly depressed, by it.
