The 1989 Beer Orders caused the traditional big brewers a big headache. They were limited to owning 2,000 tied pubs so they had to sell a load off. Whitbread were also hit by the decline of traditional ales - they had the UK licence to brew Heineken & Stella but obviously didn't own the brands.
So their focus shifted from breweries to Premier Inns & Beefeaters, and the other UK franchises they had (Costa, TGI Fridays, David Lloyd gyms).

What an incredible example of unintended consequences that was. The original government intention was to stop brewers becoming ever more powerful by limiting the number of pubs they could own. The brewers were smarter than the government and decided to sell their breweries and could then own as many pubs as they wanted. The way the hospitality industry is structured today in the UK is still at least partly as a result of that change (as I understand it, based on my simple understanding).

Fritzie Zivic and Jake Lamotta after their second fight in July, 1943 which Zivic won. Lamotta won the first fight a month before and they'd go on to fight each other twice more. Zivic went on to have 233 fights, losing a lot of the last 50 so you can only imagine how damaged he was. Lamotta had 106 hard fights and when you look at the pair of them, you don't see that many modern boxers look anywhere near as hammered as these two...
