To busy necking the stuff to get philosophical or introspective about it. I aint the Jillie Goulden of the beer world. I am sure there are a minority of lager drinkers just as dedicated as the Real Ale Twats but I have never met any.
The way the blogg continues about beer temperature is quite interesting.During a very hot summer some years ago I worked in friends pub part time. Everything was warm and frothy,beer,lager coca cola. No one cared as long as they got a drink. Pouring was a nightmare. Today overchilled beer is the problem. It makes my teeth ache and kills the taste of the ale.On a hot sunny day though it has to be chilled lager, beer makes me sleepy, the tooth ache keeps me awake.
Never gone to the level of walking around with a thermometer ( not unless my Doctor was forgetful :eek: ) to check out the beer.
If you want to get a flavour of real pub life, you cant beat Early Doors, we all know and Eddie Bell, or two, or three maybe, well i can think of four, five including him - add my footy team, i can think 16.

'tis, indeed, a wonderful series - been repeated on BBC4 recently. Not too much happens, but it's all played with warm understated humour.
Right - here you are. Tomorrow 23.20, series 2, Episode 4 and, check this out, Historian:
" Eddie and Joan discuss their love of circuses with the whole pub and Tommy gets a new job." !

Back already to send you to BBC2, not 4 (so no lack-of-Freeview excuses!)
