To be fair to them, they big up many other breweries and beers from around the UK as well as the rest of the world at both their beer dinners and events at their pubs. I think a lot of their marketing is very tongue in cheek and takes the piss a bit and can make them seem a bit aloof. Don't get me wrong, I'll still have the odd pint of Tenents or Best now and again, but i'd rather choose beer from a smaller brewery like Deeside Brewery, Meantime, Thornbridge etc etc. All up to personal taste at the end of the day.
