Woolworths to shut down sail and anchor brewery

[Dr. Venkman]

Why am I not surprised, if Woolies or Coles take over Little Creatures I will find a way to incite a riot and torch their corporate hq

Nah Lion Nathan already have a non controlling share in LC If anyone gets the rest of it it's likely to be them.

[Professor Redfern]

I find it funny that the locals all get there pitch forks out at Woolies for doing what businesses do.

They are there to make money people its what they do, its what you do. If you bought a business you would be cutting the shit out of it as well.

If you think there is profit in local boutique beer why not start your own as there is now an apparent gap in the market.

Of you read the article it's the brewery section being closed, it's small capacity and most of their beer is already brewed off site, so it's not a huge change. Yes it's a damn shame, but the place will still be there

But there is money to be made propagating the hate in others of the business they do and It's Australian nature to go for the underdog and chop the tall poppies... don't you know this?

I would actually but alas you need money to make money. Unless you are interested in having a having a small shareholder in any future licensed venues you consider that can also run the liquor store with his eyes closed and one hand behind his back. I'm coasting and unchallenged in my job. And want more money. Theres a leasehold for sale atm with amazing plans for redevelopment In what i think a very good location.

This is the fault of anyone who buys Gage roads beers, Dry Dock beer, or shops at Dan Murphys, BWS, and woolies liquor. I blame you all.

You're welcome millsy, anything else i can do, just ask

[shmoo]

so, they will continue to operate the pub, but will consolidate the brewing part of it to some other offsite brewery?

[g0zer]

they should keep it open but put EB on tap
