Allez, I don't like craft. It's overly hopped keg beer. It has a market, fair do's but cask ale is where I'm at.
Yes keep chilled easily lasts 4 weeks.
Where Keg is 6 months so why would the club bother unless they had a bar that opened regular like other grounds do.
1 barrel of 9 gallons would go in one day at a match. No waste, no need to keep it till the next game.
It doesn't work in a plastic cup.
The club have Rowleys don’t they or whatever it’s called these days surely that’s open nightly?
Stick to mild old man
And yet I went to the Amex in 2011 (2-2, brilliant Kevin Phillips goal) and had a good pint of Harvey's best bitter. People who dismiss cask ale are those who want to dismiss it.
Used to love Chester’s mild in the Criterion but you young lads won’t remember that.
Yes you might need more than 1 x 9 gallon cask. I'm talking about introducing it gradually. Then there's no waste. If the first one's gone by 2.30 so be it. That would be a success.
It was a Tetley's house. Surely it had Tetley's light mild?Used to love Chester’s mild in the Criterion but you young lads won’t remember that.
More to with the practicality of serving the stuff it wouldn't work.
Let's at least try it to prove your point.
I was thinking the same. Chesters Mild was in the Veevers and other Whitbread pubs
Pretty sure for a period it had a guest mild on which I’am sure it was Chester’s.
Except that when I was teen the Veevers was (the only) Vaux pub in Blackpool.
Not really I've worked with Real Ale and I 100% wouldn't want it in a football ground
No.
Dunno, I went to the first post-Oyston match but didn't partake.
Still no flaming sambuca bar for us in the North
No you are probably right. I went in it twice in those days. You're probably right.Pretty sure for a period it had a guest mild on which I’am sure it was Chester’s.
I could have the pub wrong of course as it was 45 years ago.
Just read above yes more than likely it was the Veevers so cheers.
Could you imagine if we had Jaegerbombs in the North the club would make a bloody fortune.Still no flaming sambuca bar for us in thr North
You already have enough entertainment in the north with all the chucking that goes on.Still no flaming sambuca bar for us in the North
Which is why I said, one 9 gallon barrel as a starter.
No. I've had to drink cask out of those thick plastic glasses at some away venues and it's worked OK.
Agree far better than those paper thin ones we have at the moment.
Why don't the club sell Vodka?
Yeah certainly be more chucking...up with the sambucas.You already have enough entertainment in the north with all the chucking that goes on.
If you want to carry on drinking that piss lager and John bloody smiths bitter that’s fine by me.Why don't the club sell Vodka?
Easy to serve doesn't go off and I'd put my house on it would make more money than a 72 pint barrel.
Just go to a pub or ask for the club to open a Real Ale lounge at a tenner a pop like Heineken/Moretti but I know what you real ale tight arsed gets are like not a flaming chance you'd pay that.
Lytham?Used to love Chester’s mild in the Criterion but you young lads won’t remember that.
No it was the Veevers now as it’s been pointed out.
Wish I could drink the monkey piss in the North I've given up it's that bad to get served.If you want to carry on drinking that piss lager and John bloody smiths bitter that’s fine by me.
As long as we have a few casks of real Ale in the west stand bars the really important supporters of the club will be more than happy.
1966… your idea and any other that can be trialled for minimum cost should be welcomed by the club…I’m sure plenty of ideas at small cost to trial are there…
And there we have it. Someone who's anti-real ale. Why not say that to start with and save us all some time?Why don't the club sell Vodka?

I know I'm speaking to the converted Voy but when I went to the Amex it was like a revelation. Not cheap by any means but a pint of cask ale...at a football ground! We could at least try it.
I drink before/after games and rarely bother in the ground. Be nice but not essential for me.
If there's any left at the end of the match me and my mate would be happy to finish the cask, to avoid waste.
Join the queue.
So your not up for a real ale lounge then?
