You lucky sods living in more northerly climes. Bitter at under £2 a pint. Here in the swamp part of Middlesex Pride is £2.50 a pint and they don't like filling the glass for that.

Must agree with El Greko that Tetleys is marginally better than Ansells but there really isn't a decent pint from any of the big conglomerates and "local" labelling doesn't alter things.

My younger days were spent drinking Melbournes, "proper" Ruddles, Sam Smiths, Batemans etc. who all produced good 'drinking beer' as well as mighty fine 'sippin' beer'. Oh to be 21 again!
