Greene King must be stopped !

[Screaming J]

I've heard via e-mail that Greedy King are threatening to take Harveys out of the Lewes Arms as
the price has gone up.

There's going to be a petition in the pub for people to sign - what other excuse do you need?

Didn't they try this when they originally bought the pub.....only for all the locals to walk out.

 

[Dandyman]

Yet another reason why Greene King are regarded as scumbags by much of the real ale world.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Their beer tastes horrible anyway.

The Lewes Arms without Harvey's is against the natural order of things.

Outrageous.

 

[Lammy]

I'll be in the Lewes Arms Friday lunch time. Will report back, if I remember...

Green king stings your ring la la la la la.

I can certainly back up that statement. I had a duff pint of Abbot in a pub near Stansted Airport once. Needless to say I spent almost the whole of the next day sat atop the porcelain throne. IPA is vile too - far too stuffed with hop oil, just like Bishop's Finger, another pint to be avoided. And they have killed off Old Speckled Hen since they took over and closed Morland's. Okay, they still brew it, but it isn't the same beer.

Not to mention the f***ing lunatic Greene King put in as manager at the Lewes Arms about six months ago to replace the brilliant landlady of nine-years standing, now thankfully ensconced at the Gardeners.

i am missing somethig here- GK are the brewery right? have their prices gone up, or the pub's?

I thought the brewery set the prices. as part of supply sontract... especially if they also own the pub?

Switch to LAGER then, you bunch of homo's.


*lights fuse*

 

[jevs]

My local is the Tally Ho in Lewes and that's been GK for a while. Their bitter is puke and their guest ale.....their one and only guest ale called Moorlands original tastes like PVA glue.

Think i might start going up the Elly to watch the football

Morlands is brewed by Greene King these days.


On the subject of this thread, there are two sides to every story. Harveys have had several opportunities to buy the Lewes Arms from Greene King. Greene King have even approached Harveys offering to sell it to them, and Harveys turned it down. I'm not a Greene King fan by any means, but Harveys had their chance with this one and blew it.

And GIRLS. And TEENAGERS. It's a good training drink but eventually, if you're a real man, you'll end up drinking Harveys.

Easy 10 won't be able to answer 'cos he's in the CAR PARK being beaten up by the MORRIS DANCERS.

Nah, I'm going to PIMP you to some passing LibDem delegates, SLEAZY TEN and provide them with a free pillow for you to chew on.
