But really keep em for the black stuff and nothing else.Kieran Haslett-Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562970144894398803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-28930078946801625112010-03-10T04:22:23.137+00:002010-03-10T04:22:23.137+00:00ব্রিক লেন sounds an interesting area.

I must explore around there some time, if I ever have that London holiday I keep promising myself.<br /><br />Although I too am a Northerner, I'm not as fanatical about sparklers as you TM, but I think you're quite right about stouts.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-69484395431951477492010-03-09T08:50:42.079+00:002010-03-09T08:50:42.079+00:00Debate-what debate?

If you don't like it, roll out the barrel and stick to gravity dispense, but leave my sparkled handpull nectar alone.Sat In A Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123038980796000837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-54376719521550463922010-03-09T08:33:27.989+00:002010-03-09T08:33:27.989+00:00It just seems to fit better.

I can drink well conditioned beers without a sparkler, but in stout I feel the creamy head enhances the experience.<br /><br />Gravity heads - and there wasn't one - rarely last.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-7823763998213680372010-03-08T23:06:39.621+00:002010-03-08T23:06:39.621+00:00Is this the Guinness effect?Is this the Guinness effect?ChrisMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088526990457894540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-56615631504817569752010-03-08T20:57:45.352+00:002010-03-08T20:57:45.352+00:00Stout I'd say is better with a tight creamy he...Stout I'd say is better with a tight creamy head.

Personal preference, as always: I generally prefer beers with than without, but Adnams beers I always prefer without - still has to have a decent sized gravity-created head though rather than this liquid to the top tosh ;-)ChrisMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088526990457894540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-45422686829746708012010-03-08T14:34:59.013+00:002010-03-08T14:34:59.013+00:00Great pub the Pride, but the beer's always bee...Great pub the Pride, but the beer's always been a bit hit-and-miss.TIWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723235843548373098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-14153954687452045332010-03-08T13:37:12.320+00:002010-03-08T13:37:12.320+00:00"though a sparkler would have elevated it gre..."though a sparkler would have elevated it greatly"<br /><br />This can not be said often enough.<br /><br />Keep the flag flying for "unflat beer"the comfy gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924657198116153855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-62305105653049978532010-03-08T13:25:15.406+00:002010-03-08T13:25:15.406+00:00"though a sparkler would have elevated it gre..."though a sparkler would have elevated it greatly" - I'm not even going to rise to the bait.<br /><br />I was drinking Crouch Vale Brewer's Gold on Saturday.
