They offloaded a fair few Belhaven pubs too to some pub/leisure co, who were also buying up surplus Wetherspoons as well, but then somehow agreed to GK supplying their beer for a time. <br /><br />So undoubtedly GK or in fact Belhaven themselves as they seem to operate far more autonomously than you might think, might be keeping the Belhaven beer to specific pubs, because its that which distinguishes them arguably still,and letting the rest just have the limited Hungry Horse variety which is basically IPA + OSH.Stonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656315721111561414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-47696796531146113822017-09-11T22:36:31.875+01:002017-09-11T22:36:31.875+01:00Isn't there a point where you just give up, ac...Isn't there a point where you just give up, accept it for what it is, and swerve cask in anywhere but Tand Towers?Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-38329903201163339032017-09-11T22:35:22.954+01:002017-09-11T22:35:22.954+01:00Oddly (or not) the best beer I've had in Scotl...Oddly (or not) the best beer I've had in Scotland came via autovac in a famed pub in Musselburgh.

The joke is that the red "T" means Try somewhere else as there's no cask ale!<br /><br />Also worryingly, is the prolific use of Autovac in and around Edinburgh. I hadn't heard of these devices until I moved here and had frequented the pubs for some time. Personally, I think they should be up front with the customer when they are in use. I've set up a petition to this end: https://goo.gl/dXuNdiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-50434478464704265872017-09-11T14:21:24.735+01:002017-09-11T14:21:24.735+01:00In some parts of Scotland you get the impression t...In some parts of Scotland you get the impression that the mere fact of stocking cask beer qualifies a pub for the GBG :-(Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.com
