    I love a chocolatey stout or porter. Yum.

    I recently had a pint of something that had definite mango undertones. Wonderfully refreshing.

    For the uninitiated, what is or was keg bitter?

    in short - cask beers finish the brewing process in the barrel. A Keg beer has been already brewed and is ready to drink.

    You can still get keg bitters in places like cross-channel ferries and football matches. It's things like McEwan's or John Smiths. Filth, in other words.

    Balls to that.
    Plastic cups at a beer festival? You’re making it up. One of the main things about beer festivals is the ****y glass they make you buy. With you on the attendees.
