Hardys and Hansons in Nottinghamshire brews its last pint

Greene King, a British brewing giant, recently purchased Hardys and Hansons brewery in Kimberley, Hottinghamshire. The old brewery will be closed, 80 people will lose their jobs, and the brewing operations will move to Bury St Edmunds. The last pint of beer ever to be brewed at the Kimberley plant was brewed in early December.

I know this is business and that breweries consolidate, and that small breweries often lose money, but it's still a sad day for the folks in Kimberley.
