Problem solved, especially as the CAMRA dinosaurs decisively failed in their bid at the AGM to foist hostility to craft keg onto the Campaign.<br />Yes, being opposed to craft beer is not CAMRA policy.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-12312337965675939652013-04-26T10:46:54.561+01:002013-04-26T10:46:54.561+01:00Are you quoting Frankie Goes To Hollywood now Cook...Are you quoting Frankie Goes To Hollywood now Cookie?SLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750653266156249490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-43312861638857051282013-04-25T11:22:57.317+01:002013-04-25T11:22:57.317+01:00The people that get most heated in defending the o...The people that get most heated in defending the original meaning of any given word are those that have most to gain or protect by that action. Likewise those that seek to give a word a more contemporary meaning. Ownership of any given word belongs to the largest tribe that use it.

I can assure you that the stuff in that keg didn't conform.<br /><br />Owen, strictly there should be secondary fermentation in the keg, which there isn't. Although I do take your point, there is no reason why keg beer can't be Real Ale. Although, strictly much cask isn't either as it tends to be dropped bright in the brewery and racked ready conditioned.<br /><br />Al, indeed, its all just beer really.<br /><br />Tandy, I'm fairly sure that odorous or noisy members of the audience would be ejected, these people take their theatre nearly as seriously as we do beer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319272987951077205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-30627994056996955182013-04-25T00:29:04.109+01:002013-04-25T00:29:04.109+01:00Hope you aren't encouraging burping and fartin...Hope you aren't encouraging burping and farting by the audience as a consequence of your fizzy stuff Dave.<br /><br />At least with the real stuff, it is silent.
