It is reported that the recent acquisition of the Cock and Bull chain of five pubs, which were distinguished for their Fuggles Best Bitter dispensed by handpump, will result in their beers being terminated. This deeply regrettable move instantly cuts the number of North Island establishments where something vaguely resembling real ale might be found by one third. No beer enthusiast is likely to choose to drink bland, mass-produced, fizzy beer in a Cock and Bull bar from early August when their award-winning beers are scheduled to be phased out. Surely the new owners are shooting themselves in the foot?

Cock & Bull, Botany
Cock & Bull, Town Centre Drive, Botany, Auckland.
UPDATE: Unfortunately the Cock and Bull chain of pubs was sold in August 2012, and no longer serve their award-winning beers. The handpump in each bar has, alas, been removed to make way for mass-produced fizzy products from national 'brands'.
