I'm with OB on this one.

I don't mind a pint of the Sheep and when it's good it's very good.

The thing is that despite being across the border in Lancashire we still get loads of it and it also seems to be the default beer of choice for pubs that don't really do cask ale.

This means that the proper beer pubs don't stock it and the non beer pubs don't keep it very well.

So the bottom line is. Despite the fact that it's available in lots of places it's just not very good round here.
