He didn't get much of a chance to enjoy his dosh. Seem to remember he was a vodka man? Wasn't that was it?Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-47456626256818761202008-05-02T13:02:00.000+01:002008-05-02T13:02:00.000+01:00Please be assured that the PoS will NOT be going ...Please be assured that the PoS will NOT be going to Fullers only and there is no plan to stop serving CVBG.

I know some of the regulars, when on their travels, used to bring back nines of obscure beers and return the casks on their next visit. I don't know who looked after the beer though.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-22097736780024527802008-05-01T13:02:00.000+01:002008-05-01T13:02:00.000+01:00No point in going to 100% Fullers at all - hope I'...No point in going to 100% Fullers at all - hope I've just been unlucky on my last few visits.<BR/><BR/>Steve at the Alma rings a bell - I beieve he was actually Danish though you'd never know from his accent.<BR/><BR/>I understand the good quality of the beer was due to the cellar being run by Burnley Dave (one of the Wenlock gang) - or so I was told many years ago...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-7731297549555389022008-05-01T09:06:00.000+01:002008-05-01T09:06:00.000+01:00I agree it isn't as hoppy and it does have a sweet...I agree it isn't as hoppy and it does have a sweeter edge. Maybe this is deliberate. With all the other intensely hoppy beers they produce, maybe they want a slight contrast?Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-9875851979438099062008-05-01T07:03:00.000+01:002008-05-01T07:03:00.000+01:00I used to be absolutely in love with JHB, but have...I used to be absolutely in love with JHB, but haven't had a good pint of it in years. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems less hoppy than before.

What would be the point of that?<BR/><BR/>We used to go to the Alma. A really interesting and down at heel pub towards the end. The owner, Steven if I remember, was very welcoming to us. He told me that he had been made an offer he couldn't refuse.
