Problem solved. You'd have to be *really* selective about where you drank, and probably have to drive for the privilege, to get draft Guinness in the situation above. -- Dnc

Goodness is fine in Ireland in pubs where they look after the pumps and have a high turnover of product. It doesn't keep so long in the keg and once the keg is open it's best used up in 48 hours. IMHO and of those who really know. I've tried it further abroad and it always seems 'orrible. -- Hog

Carling, Tennants et all. Sure on a hot day served ice cold it has some effect but Pellegrino served at the same temp would too. The mass produced bitter you get in UK pubs, particularly in Scotland and Ireland, is even more insipid. And nothing is more likely to make me throw up than bottles of Dog. -- Hog

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember ginge <the.gingeREMOVE(a)THISgmail.com> saying something like: >That way if I squint I can >pretend I'm her majesty's south. My dear Hastings... <twirls moustaches> |
