A place for Keg bitter?

[arwkrite]

My list of recommended drinks is getting longer.Gawd help me if I ever find them all at one stop.
Do they still make Wrexham Lager ? .It used to be in every caravan clubhouse I visited in Wales. Others that come to mind are Worthington Best Bitter and Whitbread Tankard which cannot have been that bad because I drank so much of it. I dont remember much real ale unless you went in the pubs and the quality was variable. It was a case of sticking with what you knew on"foriegn "holidays back then.

I believe, Mr A, it wasn't called Wrexham Lager because it was brewed there, but because of the effect it had on the drinkers

I am more than happy to have a keg MILD, i often prefer it to a cask beer - you know, the GK IPAs and the more common ones. Whilst cold, they are generally still fine, except for a couple - Hardy & Hansons for example - it is so cold, i think it is aimed at the penquin market.

Hello Mr. Arch , did you manage your Chester crawl? I have the mrs in hospital with complications so our travels will be restricted for a while. I taken a few photos in Hereford in between visiting hours ,hope to get a few more weather permitting. The Kings Fee , a 'Spoons, is just around the corner from the hospital so I am OK for the essentials in life.
Couple of new to me ales I have found to be good are Cameronian ( Edinburgh Brewers ?) and XXX from Exe Valley Brewers. The last one from 'Spoons at £1.89.
I remember Wrexham lager as not being that great and the butt of many jokes. The Shopshire brewer and pub owner Greenals brewed beer I never liked. Wales had a number of breweries ,which over time I have forgotten, whose cask products you only drank illegaly on a Sunday and so tasted better than they were.The caravan club houses were crowded with local lads on a Sunday and nationalistic, football or girl rivalries set of trouble. Drinking in supposedly closed pubs was the easier option.I have not had a caravan holiday in Wales for over twenty years so I expect things have changed. More real ale and microwaved food ?
