Since when has it been necessary to apologise to Londoners? If anything they should be apologising to us.Quote:

Because too many people have been allowed to use the term 'craft beer' without being punched in the mouth, and now it's got out of hand.Quote:

It is also dispensed by a system that does not apply any gas or gas mixture to the beer other than by the traditional Scottish air pressure system.'
Craft beer is simply beer produced by a small brewery. It's probably, but not necessarily, real ale.
Do you still need a beard to be a CAMRA member or have they got rid of that requirement now?
It's been a long time since I was in the licensing trade but IIRC the rule applied to the women as well.
Women were mostly automatically members then
No need for a beard, CAMRA accepts members of all sexual orientations.Quote:

I don't mind living in the future, mostly because we have the big screen tellies, but it's a lot more complicated than the world I grew up in.
Sounds like a load of bollocks to me. :eyebrows:Quote:
