FAO UK Admins - Breweries/Places Housekeeping

Just tried this beer…

https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/liverpool-craft-love-lane-west-coast/600132/

On RB as a Liverpool Craft beer (and shares pump clip style imagery with Liverpool Craft), however Liverpool Craft is now owned by the same group that is bringing back the Higsons name, and the pub I’m in said it was “Brewed by Higsons”. It’s also classed as brewed by Higsons on Untapped.

I have also found the following article that might help explain what’s what.

Any thoughts about how this should be treated. Oh and just to throw a spanner in the works, I was previously told that the new owners of Higsons don’t own all the old Higsons recipes or beer names (but I’m not 100% sure on that).

Not sure how this should be treated.

Slight update the Higsons brewery tap website has links to two brewery/brand sites

I have reported this the proper way but people have been rating both beers so thought it was worth raising here.

Andwell Porter should be an alias, they just renamed Porter No. 2

Just rated Torrside Heavy Rauch https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/torrside-monsters-heavy-rauch/606352/32589/

However now feel that is almost certainly an alias of Torrside Rauchwine, https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/torrside-monsters-rauchwine/435944/

Just added this place which is actually in Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire. However I think that I must have inadvertently auto filled a text box with Merton afterwards so could someone change it to Bradford on Avon. Cheers

I have had a crack at this, hopefully accurate now, the mapping was quite difficult as the street does not show up.

That looks to be quite a loss. Now updated.

Now updated.

Now closed on Ratebeer, if someone could let me know if they re open please.

Hmm. Okay I have gone an interim Higsons / Liverpool Craft here to keep both options open, obviously they will be moving address soon so we can update then. I would have thought that the Liverpool Craft name carries more weight than the old fashioned Higsons now but hey ho, who are we.

Just to complicate things even more! So we need to group all 3 names together when it happens.

Job done

#fin There are 2 different ABV’s for these beers. Rauchwine 10% and Heavy Rauch 9.5%. Are you sure they should be aliased?

Picked that one up on my normal Places Admin work, I thought for a minute that you had upped your village and moved it to Wiltshire :wink:

Okay, all up to date. Thank you everyone for the updates, sorry if you have to wait a little from time to time but real stuff gets in the way, but this does seem to be the best method to get stuff done as the bugs reports are virtually impossible to work through.
