All you southerners, stay away from this pub.

its complete rubbish, pants on head gash, totally poop, stay away.
To the northerners, this pub is great, not a single mass market beer on the pumps, not even Guinness, its a little pricey for some beers, but wow what beers, ever since they got a contactless payment machine my bank accounts never been the same, many a misspent Friday afternoon/evening wasted here, we just need to keep the southerners out.

Northern beer can be very good - Black Sheep in particular.
But Southern beer is wonderful too, different, but wonderful.
Get thee to The Flower Pots brewery/pub in Cheriton for a proper Hampshire beer experience. If they have the Cheriton Porter on it's heavenly...and the IPA...well...Mmmmmm.
Black Sheep is fantastic, and the man Paul Theakston is a legend.But Southern beer is wonderful too, different, but wonderful.

In terms of southern beers, Adnams do some good stuff (Broadside is cracking), as do Woodforde's.
I grew up in Sheffield and worked in a pub whilst a student at Sheffield Hallam University which served beer with a sparkler.
Then moved down to Devon and have had many pints without a sparkler and have noticed, erm, no difference at all.
As someone else said, good beer is good beer regardless of whether or not it has been frothed.
And another point (which should appeal to us tight Yorkshiremen) the bigger the head the less beer is in the glass!

Except having worked in a bar in Sheffield you will have noticed a white line half an inch down the glass with the word "pint" written against it. The head goes over that. So you actually get more beer Then moved down to Devon and have had many pints without a sparkler and have noticed, erm, no difference at all.

(I can drink it either way...but some drinks need a head. Guinness for example. And some bitters).
It's down to the water innit m8.
Dahn Sarf it's hard and been through everybody thousands of times before being pulled out of the Thames or something and someone makes beer from it.
Up Norf it rains so much it's always fresh and has been filtered through the limestone and peat bogs, been stored in some picturesque reservoir or pulled from an underground spring before being used to brew.
Simple.
I seem to remember trying to get a wash and shave dahn sarf many years ago, after failing to make any lather I gave up and never went back, I don't know how you put up with it.

As a lad from North Wales moving to the South of England that was a real surprise! Nowadays my house has a water softener and you wouldn't know but when I first moved I wondered why washing machines and the like plain didn't work right....

Update: I've heard from an industry contact that they actually make beer according to whether a sprinkler will be used or not.
Meaning breweries make the same named beer except one for the north and that for the saaf.
That could be true because one of the things you can get from home brew shops is heading liquid.Meaning breweries make the same named beer except one for the north and that for the saaf.

If you are ever around Surrey or Hampshire keep an eye out for Hogsback TEA. Lovely, lovely beer.

Their "A over T" is damn good too! And the brewery tour is excellent.https://www.hogsback.co.uk/
If any of yee shandy drinking suvern types get the chance to sample this stuff, I can highly recomend. Micro brewery in Newcastle and the appropriately named "blackout" is simply devine. It's strong but not harsh and full of flavour. http://biglampbrewers.co.uk/shop/blackout/
