Plenty of options available, 21 taps, 10 of which are lost Industry, the other 11 guests. When I was there Friday there were sours, saisons, a grisette, a lager, ipa (both west coast style and neipa), a black ipa, stouts and an imperial stout. Something for everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I highly doubt you have tried many of the thousands of beers I, and many others on this forum, have, some costing upwards of £20 a pint, so please don't pretend you have. Jemmos post above sums it up exactly. You are on record stating that you put the venue ahead of the beer. And that's fine if that's what you want. I am pretty sure you could educate us all on which has the best flock wallpaper or standards of hygeine in the toilets. maybe even the best live music line-up. And no-one would argue with you. Just don't pretend to lecture us on things you know little about. And let's face it... the comment ' I don't doubt some of them taste quite nice' (post #30) kinda demonstrates this. Don't you think?

I have never suggested I have drunk all the beers you have - how could I know and the same applies to you. I also wouldn't presume. You also can't lecture people on matters of taste which is subjective. You know nothing as to my knowledge of beers nor whether I like the taste of them or not - you are therefore in no position to lecture me on what is good or bad. I don't know which of Jemmo's post is supposed to sum anything up - is it the comments about pool and sky tv - the fruit machines? The horror eh? Does the absence of those things make your beer taste better - or just make you feel better about yourself?

No. Does it make drinking the beer a more enjoyable experience? Yes. You yourself have said many times you value the 'atmosphere' of a pub above the drink offer, well my personal 'Moon Under Water' offers peace and quiet. People shouting at televised hoofball or jangly fruit machines play no part in that. Not saying no pubs should offer that, just that I'm glad the pubs with good beer don't.

It makes it more enjoyable for you which is your choice. It doesn’t make your choice superior to the other though, or leave the other choice open to ridicule as if it’s somehow a lower standard of venue which is what is being inferred. ”let’s all titter at the baby palated plebs drinking the beer they choose to drink and watching a sport they like or playing pool. Oh and please don’t pretend they’d understand about the alternative - the beer is £20 a pint you know” Edited September 27, 2019 by makapaka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
