A real shame..unfortunately I never got the opportunity to visit as we always use the fox and pine as our meeting place. But it's certainly left its mark on the Oldham beer scene..as you said a very short sighted decision by Oldham council

I know people who are like that too..to be fair it's only fairly recently I got into cask beer..I always used to drink strongbow and then a friend introduced me to real cider and then I started getting into craft beer from there but I always gravitate towards the darker beers these days

I honestly believe that the only reason Guinness is so popular is due the huge marketing budget and the popularity among the so called influencers..it's a mediocre beer at best. Although it's nice to see stout having a resurgence in recent years.
