Srg Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 @TuffLuff wasn't actually joking. I work for a brewery in dispense side of things, and that is literally what that is. When bubbles cling to the side like that, it means the glass is dirty, usually greasy. Likely caused by washing them with things like coffee cups instead of in a glass washer with other glasses. Means your pint will go flat very quickly, and it's just a bit unappetising. uttoxram75 and TuffLuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah sorry, it was in a cafe on the a1 past Alnwick so that is mostly likely the case. Ill throw the glass back at them next time and shout ‘THIS IS FOR SRG!’ Thanks for the knowledge, I’ll know for next time it happens. Which brewery is it, if you don’t mind me asking?

So yes we have Carling, but we do have a lot of better stuff too! TuffLuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pub orders from Coors, does that mean you can sort some freebies out for us? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin works for Coors and he can't sort freebies out. Actually, he probably can but doesn't want to share it with pisshead relatives ? rynny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, but if you are having any dispense problems or changing products over etc I can get it done a bit sooner more than likely! rynny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasted metallic, which probably means the line is knackered. Should probably call us to look rynny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Stranded in Edinburgh until tomorrow morning... Any pub recommendations? Preferably new town/Stockbridge area as that’s where I’m staying tonight? Only ever been in fringe time before and never really ventured too far down that way before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Done kays earlier in the day Been to Stockbridge Tap tonight and St Bernards next door where we’ve been talking the old man and his dog at the bar and given us the story that there’s two Kay’s bars near each other. We were in the smaller one today but turns out we’d been to the other one years ago with a mate but had no idea it was Kay’s. Cheers @sage!
