[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 448074, member: 1723"] Pride is one of my my tipples of choice when in London, and I seek out Fullers tied houses as they seem to always have this in splendid nick! It's widely distributed too, but often the landlords in free houses or as a guest ale in the pub chains don't seem to be able to keep it as well. So sometimes it can taste like anything. Such is the nature of cask conditioned ale. Hit it just right and it's just like magic, other times it can be a shrug! When I was in the heyday of homebrewing in the early 80's I splashed out on a British made wooden cask called a "Pin" which contains about 6 US gallons. Had it custom made from a cooperage called Buckley's in Dukinfield, Cheshire. They stamped the head with the name of my home brewery which I called "Fountainhead Brewery, USA". Sadly they are no longer in business. Also purchased a beer engine from Homark to make the presentation complete. And learned to use both in my pursuit of the perfect pint! Cost me a packet, that did. Including and especially the shipping and import fees. But it was well worth it in retrospect. It served to give me a firm base in the brewing, handling, and serving of cask-conditioned British ales in the early-mid 80's. Became a passion, that did. And it's served me well! :D Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
