. Since the Bromilow shut most of the clientel have moved up the road to Barnstormers . This includes my self . The Barnstormers is a cracking pub with atleast 4 real ales on everyday and the finest selection of barmaids you have ever seen. There will also be an outside bar to assist in the flow of ales , lagers and cider . Sensible Away fans will be admitted as well as Wanderers fans . See you in there Sunday

Stopped going in Barnstormers when they changed to plastic pint pots, is that still the case?

Its that time again lads . Whos dropping in for a pre-match pint ? . There was no bother and plenty of ale supped against City . PLUS 2 new barmaids for the scum game .

ran out of guinness and some cask ales again..how difficult can it be to stock up for matchday? get it sorted..one or two getting restless

Asked for Duchars - didn't have any, got Copper Dragon.

 

Ten minutes later - went back for more Copper Dragon and they'd ran out of that too.

 

Am I numb or does ale go off in the barrel within a week?

The landlady at the Brewery Tap told us yesterday, that real ale stuff goes off after 3 or 4 days in the barrel.

Once it has been tapped, it really does need to be used fairly quickly.

 

Any real ale outlet that has problems with beer going off is ordering the wrong size of barrel.

I used to play darts in a small village pub. The landlady would only tap a barrel of real ale ready for Thursdays if the darts team were at home or Fridays if not. When it ran out it ran out. There was no point in tapping another barrel because midweek sales didn't justify it and the beer just went off.

Not much chance of the beer going off in that Brewery Tap pub (formerly Carters Arms Belmont Rd) what a decent little busy boozer it is.....nice to see these days.

agreed. a cracking boozer, and shows what can be done if a pub is well run

More like two days. But as said, the right size barrel needs to be ordered. Which is why real ale needs real skill to keep it.
