The title of this suggests a comedy double act, but no - read on
There was an interesting letter in the latest edition of CAMRA's Whats Brewing newspaper this month- with apologies to non members. A writer called Nick wrote in to express some gripes, one of which was on the subject of craft beer.
Now this hot topic has featured regularly, and still does, in the letters pages over the years.. In my humble opinion he has encapsulated the whole debate with this statement
"Craft beer - its fancy keg as far as I can tell. Im sure some of its good but its not real ale- End of"
Nice one Nick !
Going slightly off tangent, after a few days break in Lincoln, on the way home very nearly passed The Pheasantry Brewery just off the A57 in Nottinghamshire. Located on a farm, they had a shop , a bar and a restaurant. The beer menu had the core ales plus seasonals which they termed Seasonal Artisan Beers. Artisan Beers ? Whats that all about ? Could this be the new craft ? We need to be told

End of.
