I saw somewhere (trade press?) that if the acquisition goes ahead, the plan was to keep Geronimo Inns management in place to see if they can work their magic on the Young's Managed Estate. Not a bad idea IMHO - our Young's local (coincidentally quite close to a Geronimo pub) did so well under tenancy they took it back under Management....and made a complete dog's breakfast of it.

Ah. But they do use barley!

"'£4 a pint looms amid soaring barley prices and VAT rise'
10 August, 2010

By Sarah Simpson

Your round-up of the news - August 10, 2010

The pub price of a pint of beer, which has doubled in the last 19 years, looks set to climb further next year as poor barley harvests in Eastern Europe and export controls imposed by Russia threaten to hit brewers while they are forced to push through VAT and duty rises. The average cost of a pint of draught lager was £1.40 in 1991 but rose to £2.81 last year, according to the Office for National Statistics figures analysed by the British Beer & Pub Association – an increase of 68% ahead of inflation - The Guardian"

They don't use wheat in ale! I think the main worries were about the huge lager brewers like Inbev, SABMiller etc. if there was a general hike in all grain prices due to drought shortages.
