Greedy Kerching are still a terrible brewery, and their habit of taking over other breweries and ruining their beers doesn't endear them to us beer drinkers who can remember Old Speckled Hen when it was actually nice.

Greedy Kerching IPA may be the top selling UK Cask beer, but it's still an extremely poor beer that should get Greedy Kerching sued for false use of the term "IPA".

So to sum up this was a case of a really crap brewery taking over a really abysmally crap brewery.
