I don’t, sorry Fritz. Might be worth getting in touch with Jack at the Sutton Arms …

Thanks Martin! After two/three pints? Perplexed, at worst.

It just got left on the wrong side of the border after all that unpleasantness in the early 1920s...

Ha! I'm sure I'd get bored of that v quickly if I had to use it all the time, but I bet it does a better job of accentuating the beer's best features than a chunky jug.

Oh, I see! Agreed.

It's a lovely venue! V handsome. I just don't think there's any excuse for serving cask ale in such mediocre condition

They replaced one cartel with another (a worse one), and accelerated cask ale's overall sales decline. While choice improved in some pubs, cask ale disappeared from the bar in others

Good question. I'll find out

Hate them. Like drinking out of a vase!

Maybe The Swan?

That’s fantastic! Hope the beer was good …
