This sounds daft

I am not preaching for anyone to try keg but to dismiss it as a fad or a return to the old days is way off the mark.Drink what you fancy.I do.cheers

Well said LC

Thats the way I see it as well.

Pretty much the way I see it as well, I just don't fancy drinking the "new" keg. I know a lot of people like cold fizzy drinks, that's their choice and like Voltaire I'll defend their right to have that choice.

Agreed new kegs are in no way like Watney's Red, McEwans Tartan, Whitbread Tankard or any of the other horrors inflicted on us years ago or the nitro-kegs that to me smell of vomit, however when I tried a side by side test of Roosters Fort Smith the cask version came out top with the keg a long way behind. I've tried various new fangled kegs, two bars in Harrogate usually have a wide choice, and they still don't appeal to me.

Faced with a choice of good cask and a new style keg that's not too carbonated and not too cold I'll still pick the cask, however faced with cask vinegar or John Smith Smooth and a new keg it'll easily be the new keg, actually faced with a choice between any smooth and say, Stella I'll take the cold, fizzy Stella unless there's a nice Lambic or Gueze in the fridge .

Sometimes of course the only choice is to turn and leave.

Can't argue with that.
