Lists can be boring, but it's my blog!

The photo shows one of Brew Dog's plastic casks, which are a cellarman's nightmare! The metal casks are much easier to handle.

3 from boggart.have you lost your fucking marbles?

Sean. Ask the beer orderer. No. Boggart isn't my taste but they do supply a lot of our beers at a good price and their dark beers are much better than their pale ones.

Ben - they slip and slide, have an awkward shape, are hard to tap at beer festivals because of how we have to stillage them and just not as good to work with as metal.

Plastic?!? Why not make your glasses out of plastic then?

Phoenix...Spotland Gold...I think THIS was the best beer that I had on my trip last year. Pity it's such short notice; I doubt I can find a good air fare today.

How about a "heads up" a month or two in advance next year, eh?

I enjoyed the list - it looks good, I'm really sorry I can't be there!

Have you compared the price of plastic against stainless steel?

And as ALL my missing casks went to festivals.........anyway, plastic casks have handles on the bottom which makes it easier to lift onto my tilting stillages.

Lists as good as that are never boring!
