    Nah, just aisle 14 in the local Morrisons.
    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

      Fursty Ferret.

      At lunchtime, had a pint of Golden Oxford (to test if all Oxfordshire bitter was bad, it was quite good) then a pint of Adnams Broadside.

      The Broadside was the bottom of the barrel. I took it back to the bar where they looked at it and said "Thanks for letting us know" and that was that. No refund nor replacement.

      I have already made a complaint to HQ about the food (raw, cold, pork sausages in a toad-in-the-hole) in that poncy pub-that-thinks-its-a-restaurant. I shall be complaining to the Cask Marque people about the beer tomorrow.

      I wish my Dad wouldn't insist on going there.

          A "Badger Beer" if I remember correctly. Tasty, and from Dorset too!

            Stop it! You are making me jealous.

            There is a "shop for poms" here in Auckland and it does stock Badger Beers. So far I have refused to go there on principle though.

            The beer is one thing but drinking it in a good country pub is something that cannot be replicated here.

            EDIT: And I am drinking a cup of tea because it is Monday lunchtime.

              I had some rather refreshing 'Lomony cricket' & 'Tangle foot' in a Badger pub down in Dorset a couple of weeks back ...which was nice.

              I know two people who refuse to drink Badgers?? Both Cock-a-nees mind.
              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                I am very fond of Badger beers. I once got a shelf-full of Badger Original Ale at 49p per bottle in a petrol station where the staff were clueless.

                Lemony. My local had that on draught (despite not being a tied pub) but I don't like that. But then I do not like my beers adulterated. Hence I do not like their Blandford Fly (beer with ginger in IIRC) either.

                Why someone would blanket-ban Badgers I cannot imagine. They do such a broad range of ales I should have thought there was something for everyone.

                      I prefer it on draught but it is OK in the bottle too.
