CAMRA welcomes Burton brewing museum revival
24 November, 2009
Consumer group says its "fantastic news" that centre will reflect brewing styles in the UK
CAMRA has welcomed news of a new national brewing museum in Burton, branding the project a “really exciting development”.
The National Brewery Centre is set to open next year, after brewer Molson Coors reversed its decision to close the site.
The Coors Visitor Centre, formerly the Bass Museum, closed its doors due to falling visitor numbers in the summer, despite fierce opposition to the move.
Nik Antona, CAMRA director and Burton branch spokesman, said: "It’s fantastic news that we will again have a brewing museum in this country, and a centre reflecting the brewing styles of the UK.
"The plans for the centre are very promising, and an official opening could be a real boost for the local Burton economy.
"Once again this is a really exciting development, and CAMRA is looking forward to working with all parties involved in the opening in order to promote real ale and celebrate one of Britain’s most historic industries."

Of course every CAMRA member will visit at least once a month? It's these same people glad to see it return, that stopped visiting in the first place.
