Bus station by a whisker!
As I understand it it, S.A Brain's contract brewing for Scottish & Newcastle ends in the new year - essentially making half of the current brewery redundant. The site was always too large for Brains own requirements so I'm guessing demolition can start on part of the site before the new brewery in Ocean Park is up and running.
It's mildly amusing that Brains plan to run a brewery style attraction in what was the HQ of their great rivals, Hancocks/Welsh Brewers. Personally, I think they missed a trick in not including a craft brewery when the Old Brewery was redeveloped in the early 2000s. I presume it's the 'Brains Craft' range that will continue to be made on the current site while SA, Dark, Rev James etc move to Ocean Park.
