This will suprise a few of you. I went out for a business linch yesterday to Peggy Gordons Irish Bar in New Plymouth.Low and behold, they had Fullers London Pride on cellarmix. Needless to say, I got drunk at lunch time with my General Manager, Operations Manager and Financial controller. They had Stella, and Speights consecutively.
The draught version tastes considerably better than the bottle. I asked the barlady how much of the stuff has been moving, and they have used up 3 of their 10 kegs within a week. Needless to say, it was fresh. I am more than motivated to use this 1968 in an ESB style Ale now - that London Pride deserves all the medals it has won IMHO.
At the moment, I'm drinking Yakima Monster through my "cellarmix" setup. It's quite pleasant.
Anyone fancy a visit to New Plymouth this weekend?
