A recent article in Axios, Big beer is drinking up craft brewers, called attention to the problem of UK brewers getting bought up by Big Beer.  In response to the latest purchase, of London Fields by the international brewhemoth Carlsberg Group, the United Kingdom’s Society of Independent Brewers asked that:

truly independent breweries in the U.K. be granted a special seal so consumers know that they’re not drinking “craft beer” that’s actually produced by an international conglomerate.

Note that in the U.S., the Brewers Association just created such a seal for US craft breweries.  Zombie Beer Brands, not just an American problem.  RIP George Romero.  Craft on.
