A fact from Wye Valley Brewery appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 February 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Wye Valley Brewery’s Dorothy Goodbody line of beers were all originally supposed to feature Herefordshire-grown hops, but the best-known beer in that line contains hops grown in Ireland?

Reverting corporate hijack[edit]

It is clear that back in September 2017, the brewery's PR company, or some other paid-for entity, hijacked this page and sadly nobody did anything about it (diffs). The version of the page that I came across this morning was a total corporate sham - despite some efforts to clean it up (diff). So I took the bold decision to revert the article back to its August 2017 state. It isn't perfect, it will need some work, but it's way better than the crap the corporate PR people left behind. Another option could be to take the as-was puff-piece from this morning to AfD. Thoughts? 10mmsocket (talk) 11:29, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kavanaghs, @Vixenvulpix, @Marlenedoesitbetter, @Derek R Bullamore, @Rich Farmbrough, @Mitch Ames, @Arjayay and others who have contributed to this article - I hope you don't mind my bold revert and maybe you can take a look at the article and see how it can be improved? 10mmsocket (talk) 13:22, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fine by me. I have improved/expanded the existing referencing. Thanks, - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 15:19, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
