Ha....my 'rents had one of them lurking at the back of the odds and sodds drawer. So that's what it is for.

Sparklets beer tap. Proper posh!Harry wrote: Thu Dec 31, 2020 11:03 amIIRC my uncle Derek had a tap that you could fix to those somehow so it came out like a wine carton.
He also brewed his own whiskey that we weren't allowed to even try because apparently it made you blind

Funnily enough, my favourite internet radio station still plays the Double Diamond song all the time

In summer you can find me and crust at that place most SaturdaysHarry wrote: Thu Dec 31, 2020 12:21 pm It's years since I've drank a pint of actual beer, the closest I get is the odd bottle of Corona or something.
I can remember going into pubs and they would serve proper beer brewed locally, then it seemed to change overnight and it was all lager and bottled stuff.
Where I grew up, our local was a Truman pub and most people drunk light and bitter as you always got a bit extra. Lagers were almost rare compared to the range of ales and bitters, but it changed quickly when more and more brewery houses gave way to free houses. Skol and Carlsberg faded away and Fosters was the most popular as it s as over 4% strong whereas I think Skol was under 3.5% and Carlsberg 3.8%? We'd go to Southend where the seafront bars stocked Stella at just over 5% and get pissed quicker!Harry wrote: Thu Dec 31, 2020 12:21 pm It's years since I've drank a pint of actual beer, the closest I get is the odd bottle of Corona or something.

Interesting that more pubs are stocking more ales and the rise of the micro breweries is notable. Not a lover of Ales myself, despite trying to be. In colder weather I drink red wine and when its hot icy cold lager is the only thing to drink for me.I heard the same but took it as a challenge.Harry wrote: Thu Dec 31, 2020 1:05 pm I also remember Marstons Pedigree, but the story went that if you had more than three pints of that then you were guaranteed to shit yourself in your sleep, so we all stayed well away
Do you get Estrella Damm there and/or Cruzcampo?
Nah, micro pub is where it's at nowadaysMr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 31, 2020 1:03 pm Beer is trendy again in the UK now Harry, there are micro breweries everywhere. TBF they're mostly doing American style craft beers, but there are plenty of real ale places too.
TBH I much prefer craft beer now anyway...as I've said loads of times, the good stuff is produced with all the enthusiasm of real ale but it's served chilled.
You won't struggle to find a pub selling local beer IME. Even here in MK, where there are very few "real" pubs, there are a couple of places.
My local sells Cruzcampo on draught.
