We live 5 mins walk away from our village (have escaped from Fleetwood LOL !!) where there are several pubs and a micro pub selling real ale....err...when open obviously !! In the meantime there's a "micro pub brewhouse" bar thingy 10 mins drive away that does this "beer in a box" which works out at £2 a pint. All very well for real ale but it's not the same unless it's pulled through a hand pump I hear you say !! Apparently you can buy a connector for the tap on the box which you then attach to a hand pump with some beer line tube and away you go !! This brewhouse even offers to rent you a hand pump !! So, thought I'd look into buying one maybe....there's a firm in Keithley that sells the whole set up, pump..tube..connector.....but it's £140 or so !!! Looked on ebay, but not sure I fancied a manky old pump that's festered in a closed pub for months so gave up the idea for now. Anyone else thought of these drastic measures to get a pint of hand pulled real ale in your own shed LOL ?????? Mark
Hi Mark good to hear from you.
I bought 24 cans of Guinness for £20 from Aldi today, at that price I might get more tomorrow. I don't usually like beer from a can but the widget cans seem ok.
