    Default 'Real Ales' beer lists on website

    I forget what drives the occasional Real Ales price lists on the website (is it just a 'Spoons thing?) but the system seems to be moribund. For example the entries here and here are well out of date.

    Does anyone ever find it helpful, or should it be quietly abolished?
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement

    Well...the text reads 'Beer list may not be accurate.' which says it all; abolish or just plain ignore.

    It may have been accurate when scraped, but wildly out of date now and hence of no use.

    Normally Somerset, sometimes on a yacht.

    It's hard enough for CAMRA to keep theirs up to date, so I'd say drop it quietly.
    'Beer is for all day, not just for breakfast'.

    The same can be said for much of CAMRA's data, but it's a huge task to keep updated, so I tend to treat it's data as a guideline only.
