NO!!!!
No not at all, they respond to marketing and advertising. It's not just beer but all products and services. Commercial broadcasting would go bust if this wasn't a fact.
I remember finding non-keg Blackthorn. Gaymers was a keg abomination that was hopelessly sweet
I don't go into Fuller's pubs any more but their Chiswick Bitter was always vastly superior to LP. They also used to do a mild called Hock that was good and ran rings around the pathetic Young's Malt...
I don't know where your ABV data comes from but when I used to drink (and serve) it the OG was 1044 which would make an ABV of around 4.4% about right.
If the Marston brew uses their quick drop...
That's an interesting list. Robinson's Dark Mild was rare as I recall. I do remember the landlord of the Vaynol Arms in Nant Peris telling me about a cask of their light Mild that turned out to be...
Hills cider used to be the cider most places in Devon stocked in the 1980s . I remember it being dry rather than scrumpy. It was nowhere near as strong as the Biddendon Kent cider and in those days...
If it's any help I would give a Marston outlet a deep crimson Thumbs Down and a Batham outlet a fluorescent flashing Lime Green Thumbs up!
I suspect the symbol is constructed from average recent...
I've got two Wetherspoon Festival glasses from the 1990s when they tried out using lined glasses. They easily hold two carelessly poured 330ml cans or a 750ml bottle of ELB Imperial Stout.
THAT is...
You may well think that but I couldn't possibly comment.
I do remember looking down at the prison through a haze of Devon cider.
I've had this beer in the last five (I think) years in a JDW. It seemed fine to me.
This is a really useful feature. There was a discussion years ago about the use of the "near a station" symbol in the GBG but this gets round that by listing the pubs by distance with the distance...
Here's my take on this :-
1) It was always known as Tavern Keg.
2) I had no idea that KI were that old!
3) I thought it happened in the 1970s!
5) I had something in the back of my mind that ESB...
Do I have a mind like a sewer or is that beer name related to a famous Two Ronnies sketch oe even a better known Shep's beer???
As I'm trying to unravel another quiz here are mu answers. I printed it off this morning and wrote the answers down off the top of my head.
1 - 3
2 - 2
3 - 1
4 - 1
6 - 1
6 - 3
7 - 3
8 - 1
Thanks for that! It means I know the answer to two rather than just one without "cheating"! I'm off to cheat now.
It is a film reference not a general statement!
I suspected that was the way you felt. I remember you posting about the Cheltenham Festival and in hindsight you were definitely right. I think you're entitled to rant! I spend a lot of the day...
I don't believe it has and it told the truth. People should be watching that next Friday.
I'm going for an unlikely choice in Michael "choo choo" Portillo. I couldn't stand him as a politician...
Surely it depends on what they are up to? If they are having a party or barbecue with no regard to the guidelines then why should they be allowed to get away with it? It's not happened to me but I...
This is my interpretation and that's all it is as the guidelines are not precise. As long as you're not in the way of other people when taking the pic I can't see any problem at all. It sounds like...
I've got different answers for 5 & 8. I can't be sure of either!
The only one I definitely know is 9 and the one I'm clueless on is 7. The rest are a combination of instinct and guesswork.
Neither are a lot of CAMRA people!
Isn't he in Father Ted??
