    If you are in London and you want ‘affordable, Yorkshire beer’, then Sam Smith pubs fit the bill. They have some character/quirky pubs. The Cheshire Cheese is one for sure. Pity the ‘interesting’ owner now restricts their beer to one real ale choice! https://www.standard.co.uk/reveller/bars/the-15-best-sam-smith-s-pubs-in-london-ranked-a3954501.html

    Theakston's would have been Theakston's from Masham then, not the stuff that got made up in Newcastle when bought out by Scottish & Newcastle.

    That was a proper brewery trip back then...got a pint glass after the tour and free until the end of the tour about 2 hours later!! Cue about 6 / 7 pints of Old Peculier...just getting my moneys worth like....

    Sorry, no idea, but probably not. Amsterdam are still an independent craft brewer, though a fairly big one, but most of what craft brewers produce over here is drunk over here. I know that there are some firms that are trying to develop out-of-country markets for Ontario craft beer, and thus do export selected beers to selected markets -- but I can't say I've ever seen an Ontario craft beer when I'm back in England, or anywhere in Europe. For this stuff, you just have to come over here! Breweries come and go like the seasons, though, so you never know just how long a favourite will last.

    (Not that this is relevant, but never mind out-of-country sales, even inter-provincial sales of beer is problematic -- it used to be, that to sell beer in a province you had to have a brewery in that province. Thus everything was tilted in favour of the big industrial brewers. They used to produce good beers, but it all started going downhill quality-wise in the 1960s. Quality beers returned in the mid-1980s with the loosening of the rules and regulations for producing and selling alcohol, which amongst other things allowed craft breweries and brewpubs to start up. Amsterdam are one of the earliest, beginning in 1986; Wellington County, who specialise in English-style ales, are another, beginning in 1985.)
