You see this is the problem, they stopped taking quality assurance seriously.  

Always did our checks as well as running manufacturing. #multiTasking #blooter #OilersArms #ElectriciansArms #NeeDeadSoldiers

Any chance you could go back?  Get the standards up again.

They ditched Newcastle. Fuck'em.

I knew they’d moved production to Yorkshire (Tadcaster?) but it wasn’t until KCG mentioned it that I realised it was made in Holland now. I think the introduction of decent beer in lots of pubs (which definitely hasn’t always been the case) has shown it up to be a pretty ordinary mass produced product. Then you take away the local connection of the Blue Star / NUFC and it being made on the doorstep then it hasn’t got a lot left imo.

They shifted to tadcaster as it was a way of saving money and selling prime land near the city centre, they didn't care less for the heritage or the protected geographic status, Heineken took over but it had already closed the Tyne brewery by then. Last I heard they were brewing in Holland, in tadcaster and were letting it be brewed in the US for their market there.

I used to drink it pretty regularly but I was at work and it was gratis. Once I left the thought of paying for it just didn't sit right with me and I didn't usually drink it out of work.

Why so circumspect?

 

Were you the bean counter that moved the brewery to Tadcaster? You seem to know a lot about it. What have you got to hide?!

I knew a lot about it as I was being put on the dole and wanted to know why and find out if their excuses were bullshit?  (They were).

[Howmanheyman 33240]

It's gone quiet on here all of sudden? Oh, it's just after five and all the bean counters have fucked off home from their comfy chairs in their comfy offices sitting in front of their computers after logging off from TT and getting a quick drink from the watercooler. 

 

IS THIS YOU, FISH?!

Fucked off downstairs more like. I went into the office for the first time in a year last week, and that was to have a 15 minute face to face meeting about how they're moving the office to a different building a minute down the road.

 

"How is will this office-move impact your commute?"
