You do indeed know some very ropey old pubs😉 Going out as a teen in London Guinness was my beer of choice, quickly grew out of lager. For Bitter we had Websters Yorkshire Bitter- absolutely undrinkable. Studied up North, a mate from Leeds put me onto Tim Taylor's Landlord and I've never looked back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off to have a couple of pints of Guinness in The Old Mother Redcap. Last of the truly ropey pubs round my way. In the early 80s a famous Guardian article was headlined : "The Mother Redcap- the land where yuppies fear to tread'. Still looks rough to this day ............ I'll bring me book ..... nobody stares at phones in this boozer and not a wine bottle to be seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Black beer,"Carlton Black" or Tooheys Black. but my drink of choice is "Bundy Rum and coke or straight rum with a drop of beer.the only trouble is that it now makes me fall over too often,so I've binned it well after the next session. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqualung Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yorkshire beers I enjoy. First and foremost Theakstones "Old Peculiar". Lovely pint. Secondly, John Smiths Tadcaster bitter. I mostly drank this mixed 50/50 with a decent mild beer. A pint of mixed. If I drank it by itself, which I did on purpose on snooker night, it produced the smelliest farts I've ever produced. Honestly, they were wrank and I was always avoided at work the following morning! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
