Shut up about Barclay Perkins - What I drank in London
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
In my hotel at least. Pleanty of cask stuff rushed over my lips, too. No keg, obviously. I can get that whenever I want.
This isn't everything. I couldn't get the bastard labels of some of the bottles. In the days of returnable bottles, it was a piece of piss to recover labels. A quick soak in hot water and they's often float off of their own accord. German labels are still like that. And a lot of Belgian and Dutch ones. ones from the USA are worst. I can rarely recover any of those.
Though I did manage to get this one:
I even removed it without much damage.
Crafty labels can be pretty bad. The self-adhesive sticker type can mostly be prised off intact, but its a bit labour-intensive. And you have to stick them on something ales as the back remains adhesive.
But I'm sure you don't want to hear about my label travails. I'm really sure you don't.
I drank an eclectic selection, with both trad and mod stuff.
Notice a theme? There's one if you look closely.
