Humphrey Richard Woollcombe Smith - a credit to the independent / family brewers of Britain. One of the acceptable faces of the pub sector ... TWAT

I live in Tadcaster. I was talking to the landlord of one Tadcaster pub who told me that Humphrey Smith wouldn't even let his pubs get double glazing installed. Something to do with preserving the old fashioned charm apparently.

I question Humphrey's sanity if he believes that would damage the building's appeal. And if you've ever felt the cold of a North Yorkshire winter you'd agree double glazing is a necessity. If not to keep the cold out then to keep the noise of Humphrey's lorries out.

HUMPHREY SMITH!!! a bit more than a man of old fashiond values.....just basicly a cunt!!!!!

@SHUPADUM

I second that!

Lovely beer - very competitively priced as well! I'm just off to my local Sam's pub here in Withington Manchester for a few pints of Old Brewery Bitter! Great work Mr. Humphrey! Keep it up!

Plenty of over emotive whinging from all involved.

Programme doesn't mention that Sam Smiths won their appeal on every count, finding that pub managers were entirely fairly dismissed for gross misconduct.

Informing video. But i'm almost sad I saw it. I love many of samuel smith's ales/beers. They are the only english brewery I really like. I'm trying their apple cider right now for the first time and it's pretty good. I understand mr. smith wanting to keep the town from being over developed and keeping it's old world feel. But obviously he has caused some strife in the process. But that is business as they say.

@bsdmon Yeh, now imagine been in the shoes of all them people who almost lost everything. Theres a little more behind sam smiths brewrey than there beers and cider. Also a good business a Business that focuses on moving on up in the world, not staying were it is and crushing everthing thing else around it down.

[trunk39able]

Where did you dig up all those whining fucking maggots?

[AccordionTheif]

Well apparently their business practices are shit, but Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout is one of the best stouts I've ever had.

I work in a Sam Smiths pub and he came in the other night. It is a thriving pub, great beer, cheap prices, a fantastic landlord, brilliant customers and staff.

Humphrey was friendly, full of praise, and despite how many people portray the man, even had a laugh. He is also extremely hard working. True, he is nuts, but he gets too much bad press amongst the Sam Smiths crowd.

[vulcan1429]

Well I guess that seals it for me.I won't be drinking THAT beer anymore!

[BRAMSPOPS]

Just about sums Tadcaster up, old, decaying and stuck in the dark ages

[SHUPADUM]

@BRAMSPOPS well said!!! its not too bad living here though....:)
