Quote from Inspector Morse: "They don't spell Australian lager, XXXX, out of ignorance, Lewis".

The landlord of the Globe, in Glossop, is brewing his own bitter. The first few batches were variable in quality, but all have been well received. I was asked the other day, "Why aren't you still serving Globe Summer Ale ? Is it because the weather has turned bad." I replied, "No. You lot have drunk it all."

Beer engines (hand pumps) do have small air pumps in the lines, powered by CO₂ cylinders. These do not add gas to the brew; they merely prevent any beer surging back into the cask when the handle is released, and stirring up yeast and sediment which then get into the lines. The continued fermentation of yeast in the cask is important to the flavour, but yeast in the pint when drunk tastes bad and (in my experience) can give the most truly awful hangovers.
