I know. Have you seen the state of the beer cellar??? Mouse droppings and all the rest.
And as for the door policy, since Stagger retired, all sorts seem to be getting in. Trail runners, sky runners, you name it. Heaven forbid we might even get invaded by park-runners!!!
Trail runners? I've heard they drink pseudo craft brewed Italian post-fermentation-carbonated lager? Heinous drinking crimes such as the consumption of Moretti, Angelo Poretti and Peroni shall be frowned upon in this creaky, spider ridden establishment. The drinking of Madri shall be punishable by a yard of Old Peculier.
It seems that Brewery Head Office is determined to close down all drinking dens that don't come up to modern standards. If it don't serve euro-lager, play wall to wall gangsta rap, have brash gambling machines, sticky carpets and individual urinals, then it's so long, up for the chop and thanks for all the fish.
Accordingly, the Masters Lounge has been put on notice and there will be no more Old Fart IPA, pork scratchings or pickled eggs. So, once it's gone, it's gone.
Form an orderly queue please....its only me and Moley on the taps tonight!
And please don't splash your neighbour when you use t'facilities!
I'm gutted! I was just about to gain entry to the most exclusive drinking den in cyberspace, and may not make it without a Stagger like charge. I was looking forward to supping Tim Taylors and eating scratchings with the fell running illuminati. As Kurt Vonnegut says - So it goes.
Dunno, looks good to me!
From the banks of the river Severn, sat beside my fishing rod which is motionless, I am drinking a thermos of coffee wishing I was in the lounge having a pint of ale.
A pickled egg and packet of scratching would be fine dining compared to my camper van dinner. An out of date tin of Lidl octopus poured over a bowl of instant Smash potato.
You know how to live Moley....
Wow. Llani once ate cold tapioca with tinned prunes, you win.Originally Posted by molehill
That beats pineapple rings and 3 day old staminade! You clearly like testing your stomach!
Good news! I was scratting around in the cellar looking for any odd barrels to finish off after last nights late rush. Moved some sacks aside and uncovered a keg of Watneys Red Barrel! Amazing. Its keg and pasteurised so maybe it will be OK after all these decades. Will hook it up and put it on for tonight. Real blast froma pre-CAMRA blast!
