49:33Now PlayingTrevor Philpott looks at the brewing industry and the national giants who control it.
The jolly brewer and his good honest ale have been part of the British tradition for 300 years. But in the last generation, momentous changes have taken place in the brewing industry. The national giants have been born. What is left now of the famous families who were known as the Beerage? What has happened to the beer they brewed? How much of the jollity and how much of the quality is left?
