Having said that, the last three times I've made a point of visiting a 'Spoons at Festival time, they've all had a fairly uniform selection of session bitters on at the same time, no sign of the interesting stuff. Here's hoping they vary the distribution a bit this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-41725544615212535042010-09-20T22:55:50.323+01:002010-09-20T22:55:50.323+01:00Zak - That's a lot of chestnuts!Zak - That's a lot of chestnuts!Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-43117453021109957622010-09-20T21:04:03.060+01:002010-09-20T21:04:03.060+01:00I heard today that for his UK brew of Birra del Bo...I heard today that for his UK brew of Birra del Borgo's Castagnale, brewer Leonardo di Vincenzo is insisting on 1.5 tonnes of chestnuts being brought over from Italy.

Hard to believe it's part of the same chain as the Shakespeare's Head up the road on Kingsway, which is one of the worst pubs anywhere.TIWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723235843548373098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-36663051446400288822010-09-19T23:12:51.825+01:002010-09-19T23:12:51.825+01:00They sell to Tesco and Asda, why not Wetherspoons?...They sell to Tesco and Asda, why not Wetherspoons??Rob Sterowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870233673933087794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-20617366489844719902010-09-19T12:47:45.770+01:002010-09-19T12:47:45.770+01:00Nick: Of course.
