That's what craft beer is, exclusivity and privilege. Wrap it in an establishment as well as a product and you've got a winner.<br /><br />Pubs are for the hoi polloi, the prols, those that don't fetishize beer and breweries. Anyone could be in there for crying out loud.<br /><br />If you don't like a brewery tap, at least drink in a micropub, for christs sake.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-21091396456469623002021-11-09T13:48:41.021+00:002021-11-09T13:48:41.021+00:00I haven't but who knows?I haven't but who knows?Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-17242226558566025182021-11-09T12:03:14.260+00:002021-11-09T12:03:14.260+00:00Have you been to the new Track Tap yet?

It's basically a good boozy beerhall - lots of seating, lively atmosphere and you go to the bar to order your beer.<br />John Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132845616834779091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-52830345452234308202021-11-09T11:22:33.008+00:002021-11-09T11:22:33.008+00:00We don't need these anymore.

The echoing discomfort, their freezing nature both socially and temperature wise, makes certain people feel more comfortable about drinking strong beer (that, all in all, probably really isn't that good for them). Having fun, while consuming easy-drinking beer? Well, that's a bit decadent and lowbrow, isn't it? So they sit there, perched on high stool and getting cramp, sipping over-priced, over-chilled and weird-tasting sludge, content in the knowledge that it's acceptable because all their peers are doing the same.<br /><br />Because it's all for supporting something "worthwhile". Not like THEM, over THERE.Lizard Seerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07497330695288945161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-3260258636649707612021-11-09T10:25:19.423+00:002021-11-09T10:25:19.423+00:00Criticizing craft brewery taps?

High tables,...It's not just you and E, Peter !<br /><br />High tables, sipping beers, poor glasses, either too quiet or too busy; give me the Hare & Hounds or the corner pubs in Borough (and I do like a lot of the beer that's produced by the micros).<br /><br />That said, I do enjoy wandering the arches in London, but that's as much to do with the views and the food.retiredmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429804437739227082noreply@blogger.com
