You have me very, very wrong. I wont drink in any of the poncey, real ale pubs for one simple reason. They never sell Guinness, and I only drink Guinness.
If I was a snob I would only drink in Bowes on Fleet Street, Dublin. Wonderful drop in there
I used to like a lager and almost drink myself to death on the beer in Krakow one Christmas. But it plays havoc with my insides these days so I stick to Guinness.
