They're not the only Smith in Tadcaster, Try Sam.

No I won't drink Sams on principle.

He should be extradited over the hill for that.

Not sure if he is still alive but for many decades the arsehole that ran Sam
Smiths was reported to have objected every single planning application in the
Tadcaster area, presumably in an attempt to try and keep the place exactly the
same 'forever'

As a result some have called Tadcaster a ********, others a piece of London in
the North, different words, same meaning.

Whilst in the Admiral Byng pub Potters Bar in an attempt to refresh my
distant memory of just what John Smiths extra cold tastes like i ordered
a pint and drank it, and yes it's as awful as i remembered

I'm so ashamed i'll get my coat.

Not as awful as when it is warm and you can taste it :-)

The best thing to do to irradiate the memory is to drink a pint of
chemical lager as soon as possible.

The spelling checker mangled "eradicate" but maybe it was right.

Irradiation will probably be the only way i'd be able to forget the taste

Shall we say I think I prefer John Smiths?

Burn the Heretic!



Ah, you have clearly never come across Copper Dragon made in
Skipton, Timothy Taylor's made in Keighley, or Black Sheep made
in Masham. IMO they would all give Harveys a run for its money
and possibly just edge it.

Good beer seems to travel better than it used to.

All beer travels well. If you get a S**t pint it was either like that
when it left the brewery or the publican doesn't know how to keep ale in
good condition.

I agree with you. IPA used to travel from England to India.

I believe that proper IPA was/is considerably stronger than ordinary pub
swilling beer (more like 7.5% than 4.5%). This was to make sure that it
didn't go off during the long sea journey. I never buy IPA which is less
than 6.5%.

Read the link about IPA myths that I posted. IPA had higher hop
content, which doesn;t explain why near hop free fizzy chemical drinks
travel all over the world, nor why their sales are so high.

IPA to India went in wooden barrels - modern fizzy stuff goes in
pressurised sealed kegs.
