    Having Googled Birkenstock and found it to be a maker of sandals I assume it's a pretty lame reference to the old "Beard and Sandals" jibe. It just proves that the old jokes aren't always the best and there's nothing good about the way he tells them.

    Is it possible that drinking dead yeast and protein laden beers can cause brain damage?

    This may explain it

    EXPERTS cannot work out why anyone would buy a small, expensive bottle of beer in a pub

    I'm going through Falmouth in November to visit the JDW. If I have time and it's open I'll pop in. I wouldn't mind betting that Al & Missus tried a sour. Brodies used to do these in E10 and I've had tasters of them but always declined going further. It got to the point where if a new one was on I would ask "is it worth a taste?" and the reply would always be "no don't bother". Of course, the keg fundamentalists would swoon at the prospect of trying one of these rank beers!
    The keg crew seem to have hijacked the so-called craft movement as I thought that it actually included many cask ales. Like other fundamentalists (with no emphasis on the "funda" part of that word) they seem happy to distort the truth.
    I'm sure I've seen Al praise some cask beers that I would describe as "craft", Proper Job being one pertinent one.

    I've had some so-called 'citric' ales and they just taste sour. Why would someone brew a beer that tastes off? Is it so that if the ale turns, a customer has no cause for complaint? A case of the Emperor's New Clothes, me thinks.
