The Independent Family Brewers of Britain association is under fire for turning down a membership application from Ajmail and Sudarghara Dusanj, who saved one of the country's oldest breweries. The brothers, who used to run a chip shop, bought the 150-year-old Robert Cains & Co in Liverpool, which was losing £2m a year and facing the threat of closure. Roger Protz, editor of The Good Beer Guide, is backing the Dusanjs. He described the IFBB's decision as "outrageous". The Mail on Sunday 02/10/05 page 40
