Craft Beer


Triumvirate of crap cask, Canny Lad, Cooper Rose and Chaplins. Tried 3 in the latter and got a Neck Oil. Contrast to the Big Mouth in BHV....a world away.
Feels wrong liking it when you've had shit beer. Can see why some don't go for Cask given Keg is much easier to keep. Shame, as a good Cask is best (as you say, the Big Mouth is superb).

Mind, of those places id only bother with Chaplins, and its got a bit of a rep for keeping poor Cask these days so best avoided.
Had it in Cooper Rose after the match. Very ordinary, was almost regretting not getting a pint of punk....
Sounds like it's kept shite or as Dave suggests, not as good on Keg. Only ever had it on Cask, and always great.

Re Cooper Rose. All the beers duff in my experience. Some rave about the Guinness in there but it's served far too cold, and thus tasteless.

Right lads. Just spoken to Meg in the Isis. All three of these on in isis on Friday. @Longy @Town End Farmer Giles @dangermows I’ll be balls deep in that stout 😂
Is this a yearly/regular thing? I ask as I'm sure the Town Mouse had three like this on a year or two ago. Think it was two pales and a chocolate stout that was maybe 14 or 15%.
I'll be in Newcastle on Friday, so unless somewhere like Brewdog or Bridge Tavern have them it's a no from me sadly
Town Mouse only place through there have it as part of the launch.

Checked and my memory served me well from last year too.

I believe it is. That picture I posted was from turning points pub in York a few weeks ago
