Took the plunge on a perfect draft. 3 kegs of club troppy to go with . Absolutely love it
This is on my list to try. Want to get through as many Pohjala, Omnipollo & De Moersleutel stouts as possible. It’s an expensive hobby like.
I’ve not quite understood these like. What’s the craic, plug it in & stick any can underneath & it changes the beer? Or are you buying specific beer only, like the Guinness surgers?

No idea to be honest! I’ve tried unsuccessfully a couple of times already when people were too drunk.Bloody hell.When is that coming out?
This the stuff on cask? I'm itching to try that, fully into cask at the minute, it's all I want to drink.
As we head into the colder months I get more into cask, suits the seasons perfectly. Will be going to Tiny Rebel at some point today or tomorrow and I’m hoping they have Stay Puft on cask.
You buy mini kegs for it. Plug keg in and it dispenses it. They do pour a much nicer pint than cans, but unless you're a big house drinker they're not worth it like.

No but I’m planning on popping in for a couple this afternoon
Probably not worth it for me. My home drinking is becoming less frequent since the pubs have opened.
This Neon Raptor vs Empress is getting some good reviews like.
f***ing hell. I might just turn into a cask convert here like.
the VPA on cask is lovely. Best vaux have put out. And I much prefer keg

I was always cask over keg, now it's flipped, mainly due to the ever expanding range of good beers on keg. But cask does suit some beers and the VPA01 is very good.
Enjoy it while you can once its gone it's gone.

A humble sup at Pressure Drop / Verdant’s Experiment taproom today for old Bert
Top condition cask blows the tits off keg like. Issue with cask is that the quality varies so much it's insane, unless you're lucky enough to be in a pub that churns out serious amounts of it.f***ing hell. I might just turn into a cask convert here like.

Been down Cloudwater today. Pick of the bunch was the Aspiration Arouses Itself impy stout. It's a blend of two stouts aged in whiskey barrels. Class like. Cloudwater do great stouts.
Ended up buying a couple of mixed ferm stuff to take away. Small bottle of a cider lager blend with Olivers and a lambic. Enjoying the former now, huge Bretty farmyard aroma but more scrumpy cider flavour. Good but not excellent.
Bought the last three today. Still class. Drinking one now.

Had to be put to bed last night. Wasn’t a good idea to finish on Delirium Red
I think that’s why me and lots of others have a preference for keg. Had far too much stale, or generally poorly kept cask. The vpa stuff was as fresh as a daisy, tapped the day before and just class. Think the only other place I’ve had a cask as good is town mouse or FCBC.
Lucky you. Every twat in my family just leave me asleep in awkward positions on the settee. Wake up about 4pm with a snapped neck. I’ve asked them to put me to bed but they just call me a wanker.Had to be put to bed last night. Wasn’t a good idea to finish on Delirium Red

Too much very average cask from older regional breweries, bland bitters, golden ales, pales, blondes etc.

Just came back from a weekend stay at Cheviot brewery. Onsite tap room, glamping and self catering 'pods'... Pizza oven and £3 a pint fresh cask. Oatmeal stout was quality.

Cheviot Tap was designed by our Head Brewer JonnyBuilt from a disused building and locally sourced materials Stunning inside and out. You cannot get much more locally sourced than the materials use…

I am on my 10th brew and loving it. Might have a spy.
I am thinking of putting some money into a grainfather. Need my temp controls to be better and hoping if I thorw some money at it I will be able to produce brewery quality beer haha
