    What is the general feeling about their brews? In bottles.

    My retailer friend gave me a bottle each of The Pride of Oxford and Marsh-Mellow to get my opinion on whether or not he should pick them up on the retail level. I thoroughly enjoyed them and I'm going to recommend that he carry them but I'm curious as to what you lot thought about them...

    I've only had Pride of Oxford - thought it was a bit pants. Not interesting enough to have more than once. Not tried Marsh-mellow, but I've had their Churchill and that was also a weak effort. As for as recommending them to your retailer friend, it probably depends on the tastes of his customers.....

    The Marsh-Mellow was definitely the better of the 2 but UK brews in town are absurdly limited and it will be interesting to see how well they sell here.

    I take it this is a shop in the states (Wyoming)? Seems odd that they are available to supply in the US - it's not like you can get their beers everywhere in the UK. I've only come across them near Oxford.

    Local shop, yes. I thought it was strange too.
