Microbreweries could be the saviour of the British ale industry, says brewery boss

摘要

Microbreweries could be the saviour of the British ale industry, the boss of the multimillion pound brewery Adnams has suggested. Last year there were more new small breweries created than for 70 years, "so there's something positive going on", Adnams chief executive Dr Andy Wood said. The small brewery sector has seen a boost in sales, which was linked to the scrapping of the beer duty escalator by the Chancellor George Osborne last year, according to a Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) beer report published last month.
