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.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

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.Comment

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 JohnsonComment

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.

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.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
