So last night I was invited to a wedding reception at the
Abbey Hotel, a posh venue complete with golf course; and of course no real ale.
My first choice was Moorland's Old Speckled Hen; a strong beer in a bottle; but
at £4.20 and that was just for a stick (two thirds). Having asked for a glass;
I was given a half glass which I was asked to change (otherwise I wouldn't have
any hands free for the doors!). She said so but explained it would be foamy; I
explained it would settle. My next tipple was Tetley's Huntsman's Ale which was
the same price but at least I got a full pint of it. This time the barmaid
said; “It’s Ale, you know". Yes, but not as we would like it. Meanwhile my
colleague's husband was getting sloshed on crappy lager and asking if the
dismissal of his son was fair. Yes it was, you thieving shit.
