Know exactly what you mean - pleasant enough, but not exactly spectacular. Only made it to the Gunmakers the once so far, but I'm in London for an overnight on Thursday and staying up in the Euston area, so I'll either be heading there or down to the Bree Louise, with any luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-77538643431472749592010-03-07T22:17:56.404+00:002010-03-07T22:17:56.404+00:00Green Jack are a brilliant brewery, Mahseer being ...Green Jack are a brilliant brewery, Mahseer being one of the many great brews.

I also get extremely pissed off when establishments serve West Coast Ales in fucking Belgian glasses!! This is because they can make more money on a smaller measure, not because of a moral consciousness. A certain amount of responsibility has to lie with the consumer. There is no perfect beer world.
