Thread Name: Campaign for Real Ale
Subject: RE: Campaign for Real Ale
Sharp's brewery in Rock, Cornwall, are true champions of spiffin' real ale. Many a Cornish pub will serve Doom Bar, the brewery's main product, and excellent it truly is, but aficionados will seek out such delights as Sharp's Own, draft Eden Ale, Cornish Coaster and Sharp's Special Bitter, as well as individual beers made for particular pubs (I'm thinking of the superb PSB, Pendoggett Special Bitter, made for the Cornish Arms at Pendoggett) and their range of bottle-conditioned ales such as Chalky's Bite and Chalky's Bark, Honey Spiced Wheat Beer and Sharp's Special in pint bottles. If it has to come from a bottle, it has to be bottle-conditioned for me, none of yer pasteurised crap thanks.   Music connection: I shall drink at least six pints of Doom at the session on Friday night... :-)
