Only if it went cashless :hehe:
Depends what the beer was.
If it only sold Fosters and Carling then yes I would.

Definitely. There are a few no-go pubs in Canton which I won't use as they only serve creamflow and the like. If one of the ones I do use stopped selling real beer I'd move on.
All brains pubs stopped selling Guinness....hardly go out to pubs these days, full of old drunks......:hehe:
I only drink in pubs that do sell beers like creamflow. I have been working all over the country for years and with keg beers at least you know exactly what you're getting.Quote:

Bloody chemically created drinks viewed as beers and even allowed to sit alongside other beer taps ,is criminal.

I enjoy trying different stuff. If theres something for sale I've never tried before I'll have that. Micro breweries / craft ale brewers need support and I'm more than happy to help them out.Quote:

So what's the story behind the question Nelson? :sherlock:
Nothing sinister :hehe:Quote:

For many years I’d drink at the Griffin in Lisvane when in Kairdiff but now it’s Green King which is not beer imho.
When you can buy 500ml of different craft ales for between £1.20-£1.50 who wants to go to a crap pub and pay upwards of £4.50 a pint for p1ss! Stupid prices round here in the Thames Valley. Best pub is the Nag’s Head, Reading.
The arches is just a big restaurant now, remember when it had three bars (what seemed like it) the old tory duffers at one end, the loonies from the estate and the crystals at the other and semi normal people in between. I've only been in the New Inn twice and on each occassion somebody has wanted to fight me! Do you get in the Birch at all? can't say that i like that place, the Landlord has his favourites who stand at the bar blocking evertone who wants to get served even though there's loads of spare tables and seats.Quote:

Then Erdinger ,Estrella,
followed by the American ales Shipyard and Goose , unfortunately very dear to comsume in big quantities .
To be fair Wetherspoon's can serve some decent craft ales at excellent price , around three bucks range .

This is a local pub for local people!!!!
Quite lucky where I am that I have quite a few pubs around should I want to mix it up.
Coach House, Bluebell, Poachers and the Fox in St Mellon’s and the Legion, Monkstone, Cross and the Rompney in Rumney.
Like the Coach House the most out of all of them though.

If looks like dish waterQuote:

I love proper German bier but buying it on line is no good to me because I never drink at home.
Solution: transport grog and yourself to somewhere else (anywhere will suffice), imbibe it there.
Cheers. :thumbup:
Cream ales are dispensed with nitrogen, other kegged beers are dispensed with CO2 or a mix of CO2 and nitrogen.Quote:

Craft beers tend to be kegged, the carbonation (bubbles) in the beer are produced by pressurising the keg with CO2 then reducing the pressure to dispense the beer. Real ales are stored in barrels and served with hand pumps or straight from the barrel. No CO2 is added for carbonation or dispensing. However there will be residual yeast in beer when it is barreled and it will continue to condition in the barrel. Main stream beers from the big brewers will be filtered or centrifuged then possibly pasteurised before packaging. This ensures that the beer is bland, predictable and has a long shelf life. Craft beers don't suffer from this treatment.
Please, do tell us what useful information they passed on to you whilst drinking in those pubs? :hehe:Quote:

If you like Moretti, watch out for Poretti on draught which is a nice malty beer, and Dolomiti (last 0.5l drunk in Rome airport in Feb).
