[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1484754444' post='3218130'] I've not had that stuff in years. See also Fiddler's Elbow and Black Wych; they are sorely missed. Never been sure whether it was Wychwood themselves that dropped a lot of those old recipes, or whether it due to pressure from Marston to devote more capacity to making more Hobgoblin...did you get much info from the inside? [/quote] No moose, i didnt get much info from the inside regarding those sorts of things, because it was a mini brewery when i worked there. Just 2 small-ish vats, one brewer who was also the owner, a secretary ( part time ) and a driver. In fact when i said i lived opposite the brewery, that was later when they got big, and moved their operation to opposite my back garden. The only info i have is from the old days of working for Chris Moss ( the owner / brewer when it was small ) and he was a friend too. The story he gave me was that another guy started the brewery under a different name, which was called The Glenny Brewery, after the thieving original owner. I knew him too, but not as a friend. He eventually got my pal Chris in as a partner when the business was still tiny ( I cannot remember at which point it changed name to the Wychwood Brewery, but i think Chris did that ) Then the other guy decided to sell up his share to Chris and promptly plimsolled himself off to Canada. Sometime later it became evident why. This guy had been cooking the books and had also been stuffing the Lec company and other utilities. When the paperwork / threats finally landed on Chris's lap, he was in debt to the tune of £77,000 Chris didnt really deal with that side of things in early days of the brewery being just the 2 of them. But he got himself sorted after a few years, and decided that the best way forward was to take on some financial brewery wizzkids. Wychwood took off like snot off a wet shiny shovel At one point they owned something like 49 pubs. Sadly Chris died after falling downstairs at home, though i believe he may have been a tad drunk at the time. I went to his funeral. Very sad after all he'd been through, though he did see his baby take off, if only for a short while

Aye, it must be hugely traumatic to hit the ' delete ' button Thats 1.2 seconds of your life you'll never get back

On the other hand, is a pint of Wychwood's Dogs Bollocks, a brewery i used to live opposite and actually work for before they became huge-ish

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1484745669' post='3217993'] To be honest I had no idea the email would go to everyone regardless of the setting. It's the first time I've used it - and probably the last! Anyway you know where I'll be on the 4-5th of March if you want to offer some physical resistance ped [/quote] No need to defend yerself against the grumpy bar stewards. AS you were

Looking damn good Charlie PS how do these differ from say, our Alan at ACG's own filter pre ?

[quote name='radiophonic' timestamp='1484513072' post='3216041'] As others have said, sites like 'join my band' can useful. It's free and they don't spam you. [/quote] Unlike Bandmix

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1484514898' post='3216065'] Good, well maintained gear is also an issue. When a guy shows up with an old untuned beat up kit with no cases with duct tape all over the place, it's usually an indicator the guy has other issues. [/quote] Right Because people who's gear is immaculate, dont have any issues I wouldn't be too judgemental in determining someone has obvious problems because their gear has duct tape on it. You could be missing out on an excellent musician As long as he doesnt have long unkempt hair. That means he will have issues

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1484227706' post='3213711'] I just see no evidence to claim that there's a general attitude on BC picking on 'big' players. [/quote] Neither do i. I mentioned a minority, which really isnt ' general ' As someone mentioned , misunderstandings are rife on forums where little emotion can be determined from a bit of text on a screen. I'm not saying thats always the case. Some posts by the arrogant are exactly that with obvious meaning, but many more times i suspect that the people jump on someone far too quick because they read what they want to read, with little thought about holding back and maybe interpreting things in a different way, or simply asking if thats what the poster meant Luckily, that is a minority. There's no question that this is general BC behaviour, far from it. There's many many good folk here

Disagree there I think a small minority have already decided on the attitude to adopt as soon as someone famous / much talent decides to post here Of the famous that have been chased off by the baiters, were they all arrogant then ? I doubt it
