I see - I got the impression that the 70-80's was a sort of dark age for beer in the UK, with mass-produced low-quality stuff from the likes of Watneys and Carslberg etc. taking over, which CAMRA was a reaction against.
I think that’s true, it just seems to have been more a case of avoiding the extinction of traditional brewing in the UK vs starting from scratch in the US.
