you class all that above Rivington brewery or any of our local craftale alchemists

 

On a par.

i was more referring to Czech lagers really and how much better they are when they come direct from the country rather than an imitation from Derbyshire.

Folk who don't use beer mats, should be flogged in the market square. Heathens. 

Not popular beer mats anymore from all accounts (by pub owners and management) I find this really odd.

I guess it's the cost and the waste - I think historically it was always the breweries who used to provide them. Our local has them, thankfully, but I'll be honest, they do look about 30 years old

if they dont have table mats i will remove a beer towel from the bar instead

if you can find one of them....the old style "fluffy / towel" types aren't supposed to be used anymore, due to health & hygiene (which is a shame, as they are very good for cleaning the car and/or windows with)

Theft is another key reason. I find this really strange. I don’t disbelieve it though

28 beermats is my record in that old exciting pastime of flipping them off the table with the back of the hand and catching them . 
never see people doing that nowadays , another fine tradition and skill set gone thanks to *two tier kier/ wokeness/ pc gone mad / brexit / immigration/ 14 years of Tory mismanagement/ Putins invasion of Ukraine/ Covid / Ian Evatt / 2 in midfield 

 

* delete as appropriate

In fact, I'm going to start carrying "Just in case" beer mats with me from now on.

Especially when I travel abroad. I'll get 11 for Hamburg next month @tomski

Top work.
