Beer daan Saaf

[Ollie_M]

Having recently moved from the North, Yorkshire in fact, I've come to realise that I've taken for granted the Yorkshire pedigree for not only producing, but serving such fine ales as repeatedly now I've ventured into a public house and upon requesting a native ale was served what can only be resemble dishwater and lacked the smooth velvety texture that I am accustomed too. Now it's not the down to the place I frequent before you say anything.

It was only whilst out having a few 'cheeky' ones the other day that I noticed that they don't use sprinkler noddles on the hand pull beers!!!. Does anyone know why? or has experienced the difference also? Do those from the south think the northern ( proper) beer tastes strange to them?

Another Yorkshireman in the Southern badlands here (though have technically been away from the North longer than I was there now).

Get down to the Market Porter in Borough Market and have a pint of Sussex Best. Lovely pint.

On your recommendation I shall frequent this place to which you mention. Could we have a Sunday Service there?

I'm a fan of the northern sprinkler howeverI remember going to one of the remotest pub i've ever been to up'in Dales and they had a cask laid on the floor from which they filled the glasses. It was almost Prehistoric. I was going to stay for another they say everyone in there had 6 fingers...... including the dog in front of the fire!!

I'd certainly be up for helping you nail some Sussex Best (Harvey's... That others are noting) on a Tues-Thurs evening.

Sadly family life saw me move out to the sticks (where there are quite a few pubs with 6 fingered folk with webbed feet) so weekend beers in The Big Smoke are very rare now.

There are some cracking places to eat around Borough Market too. Though I'm still mostly of the view that eatin's cheatin'!

I think i might have to accept that invitation. If and when i'm working from the London office i'll drop you a line and we can have a good chin wag over a pint ' sither'

... actually how does the PistonHeads Good Beer Appreciation Society Sound? I think there's something in this......

We've got some good ones too you know. Saltaire Brewery with it's Pale Ale and Copper Dragon with their Golden Pippin.. They deserve a mention!
With sprinker!!

Preview auto rotates photos sometimes. Fix it by opening the pic and rotating it 360deg back to 'normal '' then resaving

Thanks for that.. I've never seen that before however it comes to no surprise.

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.
