The typical 'Spoons punter tut-tuts about being asked to pay even close to £3 for a pint. <br /><br />Can you imagine the uproar if they started stocking decent craft keg DIPAs at £3 a third! robracinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10872315218745630300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-84646175763422033232017-10-30T12:36:27.935+00:002017-10-30T12:36:27.935+00:00Time Wetherspoon did a craft festival then, and co...Time Wetherspoon did a craft festival then, and commissioned some decent keg beers.The Beer Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-51051909394582756882017-10-30T12:35:04.725+00:002017-10-30T12:35:04.725+00:00Agreed worse one yet which is a crying shame.

I spoke to a Wetherspoons pub manager during spring festival and he told it's been affected by the wretched Craft brigade, certainly why it's been reduced to 30 ales, even Wetherspoons have jumped on this god awful Shaft beer bandwagon selling Fancy keg or bottles(some the same as before Craft marketing craze took over, including certain brewerys brewing same for years but now shoving Craft on the label charging lot more) for rip off prices and calling it Craft and the morons fall for itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-88997717497483907012017-10-30T12:25:41.398+00:002017-10-30T12:25:41.398+00:002013's Stone/Adnams collaboration was so good ...2013's Stone/Adnams collaboration was so good it still drives me to the festival, despite the intervening years of disappointment.The Beer Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-82496847728332594752017-10-30T12:15:31.990+00:002017-10-30T12:15:31.990+00:00Hit and miss affair indeed though more miss than h...Hit and miss affair indeed though more miss than hit. I'm not even bothered heading there myself this year as 2016's trip had so many misses. Glad you found a few hits in 2017. @quareswallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296856314412201881noreply@blogger.com
