I don't think it gets even that close to real beer, Geoff

But 13 casks of 18 gallons would be somewhere near the general inaccuracy of newspaper stories.
I expect the pub wasn't exactly 5 miles away (as the drunken crow flies) either...
I am wondering how beer could arrive three hours too late for a football match? Do they wait until the crowd of drunks arrive at the pub and then phone the lager brewery? I expect it takes some time to feed the proper beer to the donkey and collect the lager that comes out of the other end.
Quack!

Most pubs don't have deliveries in 20 gallon barrels.

"Someone shouted 'Macintyre!'
And We all got blue blind paralytic drunk
When Windsor Castle caught fire"

The Royal 'We' of course!

Did you order 2,000 pints of lager, ma'am?

'Perhaps tourists at Windsor Castle thought the Queen was having a party when a lorry carrying 12 barrels of lager pulled up outside her Berkshire home.
But after confusion among staff at the royal residence, it emerged the 2,000 pints were destined for a pub with the same name five miles away. Misko Coric, manager of the Windsor Castle pub in Maidenhead, said the beer, ordered for the England v Croatia football match, finally turned up three hours late.
He said: "We have received mail for the royal household here before but I think this is the first time they have received anything meant for us." '
