How can one of the most ubiquitous and popular ales in the UK not be financially sustainable? What did they do to that brewery? Lump it with a bunch of debt or something and write it off?

Let's sell our country piece by piece to foreign nations so they can siphon every penny they can to their own coffers, then let them shut it all down once they've bled us dry! Yay! We r smort!

I’m glad we once again allowed the worst people on Earth to destroy everything we have for a quick buck.

Wow, that was one of my favorite beers when I lived in the UK. Such a shame.

I know several people who work there and I used to live within sight of the building. I remember when Sharps was a small but popular micro-brewery just starting to get national recognition.

I predicted that this would happen as soon as I heard Molson-Coors were moving in. Not quite sure how a business that turns over £16m and makes 100,000 barrels a year is unsustainable. Hopefully someone can buy the site and continue producing.

I wonder if St Austell brewery would be interested in buying it? It would help keep its Cornish heritage.

I'm suprised that it's such a popular beer though, personally I've never liked it.
