Same with food of course.If you have a broadly well cooked and presented meal and are with good company,is it worth a fuss overall if the carrots are a bit too microwaved but not terrible.Probably not. If I know and get on with the landlord well,and there isn't a large audience around I might just give him the nod if it wasn't at it's best,and often the landlord would replace. But if there were ten others close by not known to me,I probably wouldn't broadcast a large objection. Of course if a local pub I would know what the standard of the beer is normally like,and the policy and personality of the person behind the bar which would help.Also,now living on a small island we all have to rub along,and that tends to leniency in difficulties of any type.IrishseaDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15210995859042509244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-47079035602272829482017-12-10T13:54:20.650+00:002017-12-10T13:54:20.650+00:00All is, er, clear!

Thing is, I call dregs the end of a cask, cloudy or not, and quite often not because of the increasing tendency of cask conditioned beer to contain little or no sediment due to it being brewery conditioned and racked.ElectricPicsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-87318783839815286832017-12-10T12:49:01.134+00:002017-12-10T12:49:01.134+00:00As I said, it wasn't the dregs, it was pin bri...As I said, it wasn't the dregs, it was pin bright.

Either way, difficult choice. In any of the pubs where I regularly drink cask it's a very rare thing for beer to get the opportunity to become tired but very occasionally a discreet hint to the staff to alert them to a cloudy one is appreciated.

This wasn't a manky pint but one that was a judgement call that most couldn't make.
