ABOUT
- This privately operated public website - which is not owned by, or associated with
Samuel Smiths Old Brewery - was
created in 2007, in the absence of then, an official Samuel Smiths
Brewery website.
This website is primarily a forum
used for open discussion regarding matters relating to Samuel Smiths Brewery staff,
management, and customers, venues, and other associated topics.
Whilst the owners and
administrators of this site, and most likely the majority of the members, fully support the
brewery and it's produce - a changing company régime - seems
to have created a number of problems for employees and customers
alike.
It would appear that the brewery discourage
any form of inter-communication, and have banned all venues from
having websites. Many individuals have felt isolated, and unsure
of their legal rights. Customers have felt frustrated, by not
being listened to. Many of the breweries recent corporate
decisions, appear to be having an adverse effect on the breweries
business on a whole, and many have questioned the motives behind
such changes. These include, but are not limited to; the removal
of all brewery identification from the exterior of their pubs and
vehicles, and the outright banning of music and singing.
