Pub crawl tonight, and one of the pubs had a bit tulip like Erdinger - tasted total tulip, very unusual for the place, anyway brought it back to the bar and said - this is tulip, gimme Guiness - and they gave it to me for free without charging extra!

Turns out this is one of the things that can happen in Britain, great I say!

Was it just a bad pint of erdinger or do you just not like erdinger?
Bad pint then fair enough. However if you didn't like the erdinger in the first place then you shouldn't have ordered a full pint of it

Yep, that's what I'd expect. In my six years "behind bars" I'd never charge a customer the difference for a replacement if they weren't happy, and I've never found anywhere that does - and I'm a very fussy bugger when it comes to real ale

One of my best experiences of that kind was some years back at a pub near Malvern. I'd got a pint and was sat there reading the paper, waiting for a friend. I was about a quarter of the way through the pint (which was fine) when the landlord came over and put a fresh pint down in front of me, saying "I've just changed the Pedigree, and I think you might have a bit of the bottom of the last cask in there"

My local brews its own beer and has a few guest ales available, they always offer a small glass to taste before you buy.

Anything beyond getting a free pint to replace a bad one
