No..........sad but true. And the chances of finding it on tap down this way are extremely limited.

But isn't that the great thing about ale? Apart from a few generic beers you get to sample the local brew.

Around here it's mostly Butcombe, Cheddar and Bath Ales. Drive 20 miles south and it will be Exmoor, Cotleigh and Moor Beer Co. Drive another 20 miles and you'll be in Piddle and Badger country.

Not to mention all the zider farms in between.

Yep. It's the meeting place for the Swindon Chapter of CUK - which consists of only one tonight - thanks Pogle you bad GuineaPig!!!

Not a bad choice as I recall. Although the Savoy was much cheaper!!

It's not as good as the draught stuff though.

Must check the "Steam Co" in Swindon tonight to see when they're having it as a guest ale.

I like my real beer so in summer I'll have a pint of one of the local (Hampshire) "golden" ales.

I really like wine & champagne but prefer to drink it with food these days.

I'm with CM - it's good sippin' champers is that. I only do pints mind.

Me too!

[Zippy]

If I could have anything, it'd be a nice cold glass of Veuve

Ale's definitely out - that's a winter drink for me as is rough cider. In summer I prefer Blackthorn or a decent lager - especially when it's served from an ice encrusted jug from the freezer (though I've never come across any pubs over here that do that). Also partial to Tinto de Verano & Campari with soda.

Did you have another biscuit with your fruit juice fatty?

'Kof!

<Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm biscuit Mmmmmmmmmmmmm>

Cider with ice...... Isn't that one of those tacky marketing gimicks thought up to trap the sort of brainless "follow the herd" winkers who used to drink overpriced lager then moved on to overpriced Alcho-Pops.... and overpriced bottled lager with a slice of lime in the neck....

At least Newkie Brown isn't complete pish... close though...

Nice pint of..... Pedigree.. or TT's Landlord.... or Pride.... or Abbot... or well any decent Ale is OK by me really!
