No, it just means that they woken up to the fact that it costs more to keep horses (in every way) than it does to have a few lorries, and the lorries won't cause such massive traffic jams as the horse drawn vehicles. Just look what used to happen at Wandsworth !

No. If the brewery believes that a horse can cover up modern production methods and offer a feeling of 'authenticity' to both their marketing and drinkers, then they are wrong

They are good for some publicity as they attend shows, but it reaches a limited audience. I think as long as the horses are treated well, found good homes, and not 'put to sleep' it wont do too much damage. People soon forget.

I wouldn't think so. They now will be able to deliver more beer in a shorter amount of time. (If they are now going to use a truck) This is called productivity at its finest.
