IT is now two or three weeks since Mitchell's beer disappeared from their pubs, so we have had time to see what replacement beers they are offering.

What a dismal, boring, unimaginative range it is. Their original press release (June 2) promised a choice of national, regional and local beers. Well, there are plenty of national beers: where are the regional and local ones?
