Ooooh (almost worth it's weight in gold then ;-).

Joking aside, it really was a damn good beer and I wonder if we cant get Ushers back on board and helping in some way towards saving Silbury?

Then again perhaps not -

"Brewing originally started at this site in 1824 as Usher's Wiltshire Brewery. Merged with Watney Mann in 1960. Ownership transferred to Grand Metropolitan who accepted the offer of a management buy out in 1990, the brewery regaining independence and taking it's current name. The brewery was closed during the first months of 2000, as it was, in accountants speak, "not cost effective" despite running at full capacity. The company still owns the pub estate and renamed itself to Innspired Pubs plc. The beers brewed under the Usher name are brewed for Refresh UK."*
