Wow that's interesting! The beers were very decent indeed! I sent Gary an email after it went down the toilet asking some simple questions (any relationship with the guy who bought out of pre-pack, whether he still had interest, who enforced etc) got nothing in return....

Nice. After the, I think, Camden town sale I foolishly jumped into a crowd funded raise (redchurch brewery) for low 5 digits It went bust (sketchy prepack), founder spaffed all the money away. Nice early lesson for me on equity rights and controls. At least I hope he had fun with my money
