    Happened to me once. I logged on to check out a pub I intended to visit that evening and it was the one on the main page; I've been beset with bad luck ever since; a coincidence? I think not.

    Otter Ales have invented a new category of beer and they are calling it Fresh Ale.It is brewed the same as a cask beer, filtered and gently carbonated then put into a keg.It lasts for two weeks rather than the 4 days for cask.New category?.Its fuck*NG keg.

    Oh, ok, I don't see those prices, in fact looking now off peak rtn to Brighton is cheaper than Hove (£12.50 vs £16.50 with snr railcard). Not got time today but let us know your new ticks for next time. I will get to Hole in the Wall and Hope Poles today though, I think new to me...

    Not far from us! McCanns is a sub brand of Angels and Demons. They'll be using the Old Dairy brew kit I'm reliably informed. Not sure if the whole A and D operation will be moving over.

    Isn't this just 'craft' keg by any other name? And no different from Fosters, just more expensive?

    It has nothing to do with craft beer apart from trying to hitch a ride, straight keg more likely.

    Worse than that, they are clearly trying to cash in on the "Drink Cask Fresh" campaign (which I have yet to see any evidence of in a pub).
    So how is stuff carbonated, chilled and served from a keg not keg beer? Quite amusing though that they use the descriptor 'fresh' and then explain it lasts longer!!
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
