Welcome
A bit of a CV. Tandleman is a veteran beer lover, local CAMRA Chairman and activist, beer writer, beer reviewer and pursuer of all things good in beer. He lives in the North West of England and London. Despite his CAMRA membership, he does not limit himself to cask conditioned beer, though he believes that cask conditioning, when done correctly and appropriately, brings a quality to beer that is hard to equal by any other kind of presentation. He is a strong supporter of Northern methods of beer dispense and avidly detests poorly presented beer and dislikes pasteurisation. He regularly visits Germany, has conducted corporate British and German beer tastings for CAMRA at the Great British Beer Festival where he has worked for years on Biere Sans Frontieres and was Deputy Organiser at CAMRA's very successful National Winter Ales Festival in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and at the Manchester Beer and Cider Festival from 2013 to date. He admires good brewers wherever they are and has travelled extensively in pursuit of good beer to drink. He also judges beer at both the International Beer Challenge and the World Beer Awards.

Why not sup them?
Higsons and Greenalls.
Barm - Part of my history, so that won't happen, though you never know as I actually have more than one of each. Well of the Higgies for sure and I did have another of the Greenalls.
RedNev. Nice try mate but wrong way round (-;
I was putting the better beer first. I went to college in Warrington, and well remember the attractive Greenall's trade mark. I remember even better the mediocre Greenall's beers.
I've got an unused Greenall's ashtray somewhere, not pinched, but given to me the steward at our college bar, which sold Greenalls.
25 years or so ago, I used to drink at lunchtimes in a pub just outside Chester called the Cestrian, which was generally referred to as the Cesspit. It wasn't that bad as a pub, but the Greenall's bitter was pretty awful.
