Some of the older breweries with their old school labels have just as much to give though, and are usually really tasty.Ghost Drinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753576955816756710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446619919848028712.post-38482107021013213432011-06-22T04:50:27.722-07:002011-06-22T04:50:27.722-07:00Branding has become more and more important for be...Branding has become more and more important for beer and breweries in recent times and I think this is set to continue. <br /><br />Good pump clips (a trivial thing to most beer drinkers I know!)are important as are good label designs on bottles. As the Craft/real ale scene continues to grow it is often the look of a product that draws new people into it. <br /><br />I agree with you fully that what is important is the quality of drink. Also agree to giving new watering holes a chance before dismissing them. <br /><br />I do like a good looking bottle mind! The Odells range being case in point!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
