Thanks for the info, though, I shall definitely look into it next time I cross the Irish Sea. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted December 3, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) I was recently given some miniatures of various whiskies and rums and have been trying them out. One stands out in particular and it is a spiced rum called Kraken. I have seen it on sale in some of the larger Tesco's.

rockershovel Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) I was in Dublin little while ago, and was offered a Dublin Blonde at the hotel, while waiting to be called for dinner. It seemed churlish to decline, although what ACTUALLY happened was that a bottle of a very palatable lager was produced, so it all turned out for the best! Back in Plymouth and St Austell HSD deserves a mention in passing, a very pleasing pint, especially with a pickled egg! My recollection of “Devilish” and “St Awful Ale” from the 70s seem very much a thing of the past.. Edited December 8, 2018 by rockershovel 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a bad pint of anything from St Austell brewery, unless it was at the end of the barrel, but Devenish Weymuff was carp, compared to Devenish Redruff.

I think people tend to forget now, or just not know, how common a “bad pint” was in the 60s and 70s. Standards had slipped; Watneys Red Barrel, Whitbread Tankard and the like were a roaring success precisely because of their consistent standards, compared to “traditional” beers. I remember pints of Greene King tasting as though they had just been pumped out of the Cam or Orwell. CAMRA did the industry, and the drinker alike the great service of making brewers realise that they had to do better. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the brewing process it's also how it's kept and dispensed, if it's not kept cool or the pipes regularly cleaned, it will have a detrimental effect on the beer. I don't know what Wadsworth, do with their beer, but it never tastes all that good, sometimes I have rejected it, in their tied houses as in a free house. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
