A very good the yet sp does not react. SGC up 11p on an rns very similar to this.

A nice little boost if all this comes to fruition, and a nice welcome boost to the sp.

Absolutely. I was lucky enough to have had the funds to buy in just over a month ago at this price. One to keep a hold of in my view.

Hobgoblin gold as a guest beer in Brewers Fayre in Stourbridge yesterday. It was a nice drop, even if I do say so myself. And sampled a few Bank's bitter in a local boozer last night. The things I do for my favorite holding!!!

Only 58p a share more than fgp, better run and a divvi

Yes, I believe sub �1 is coming sooner rather than later. But that's not particularly too bad. Perfect for a cheeky little top up I think.

Us. A freeze on beer duty but an increase in duty on high-strength white ciders

That's always a possibility, Londoner7. That would make the place a shrewd investment, especially if it like like they give the appearance of running it as a going concern, as it could drive the price up a bit. Funny thing is, is the pub over the road from me, a bloke bought it just over a year ago to turn it into flats, but he's had nothing but greif with it getting planning permission as he keeps getting knocked back. I worry that he'll just get frustrated with all the messing about and threaten to turn it into a cat house, or worse. Ianian good points. To be fair, I only have a small holding here, (1500 shares) so I'm not in too deep. I bought 600 about a year ago just to dip my toe, but then the last trading update read quite well so added another 900. I'm quite bullish here but only have limited funds available, but would add more if I'm able to at some point in the future.

Fingers crossed for the new owner, I hope he makes a success of it, but Iranian is right, even if its a family run business now, it still has to pay its way and provide a reasonable living for the owner(s). Kind regards, Trent.

Absolutely, Londoner7. Like many others, Yourself Included, I imagine I could name at least 10 pubs near where I live that no longer exists without breaking a sweat. I could name several more if I say and put some thought into it. In fact there is a Boddington's pub literally across the road from my house that has stood empty for at least 10 years. For me, I think that breweries have to invest in diversification in order to survive. Marstons is doing this by offering inns. Of course this is a slow process due to funding constraints, but they are making progress. We are a long way behind Whitbread of course, but this is reflected in both company's S.P's, but I am confident in how Mars is doing. Kind regards, Trent.

I hadn't read it either, but since pubs have been dropping like flies for a number of years, it sounds like an article for the department of the blee ding obvious. The fact that pub chains like Mars are still here and doing reasonably well, as a holder I'm not particularly too worried.

Cheers mate.

I saw some kegs of Hobgoblin (among others) in Morrison's the other day, and want to buy one or two for Christmas. Has anyone bought any and thought they were any good? I normally go for the glass bottle ones.

Only 20 pints? I was hoping for more of a challenge than that :-)

DCB, that's your view of course, but not one I share with you. It is not my intention to get into who's right and who's wrong with you, you believe one thing, I believe the opposite, and that's as far as I am willing to go with you. But the change the Damn record.

Fairdealer, you are correct. I'm holding for long term value, I've tried day trading and worked out that I'm not particularly all that good at it so stopped doing it. The 3 stocks I have are for long term. I'm sure I've mentioned already that with mars & sgc I bought in these 2 is mostly because rightly or wrongly I have a bit of a soft spot for. With my other holding (Lloyd's) this one not so much, that's just for growth to get rid of my mortgage. Not ramping (or de ramping) of course. Cheers & good wishes to you.

Oh yeah, �100.01 is it?

DCB, I've tried ignoring you for quite some time, but can I ask if you actually have an investment interest in Lloyd's, or do you just come on here to bit ch about Brexit? If its the latter, then perhaps Facebook might be more appropriate for you. The U.K. is leaving the E.U. get over it. Apologies to those that have an investment here for the rant, but had to get that off my chest.

Wiggly, so far Bank's draft is my favorite, I'm slowly going through Mars products, Pedigree is OK but Hobgoblin has a bit more of a kick. Fairdealer, not sure I understood your post properly, but I'm going to hold this one as a long term thing, adding whenever funds permit. Cheers, & here's to good trading over the festive season :-)
