Had a pint of London Pride in there this evening TBH it was very poor I'm usually very partial to London Pride too.

Credit where it's due.I criticised the Aire of the Dog earlier for its lack of real ale.I was in there last night as part of our works 'do' and they were selling Leeds Best and Black Sheep,so it's back in favour.

I spent last night in Lancashire () for our works do. I had a couple of pints of "Nutty Slack" which is brewed in Standish. At 3.9% it is not over strong and is an excellent drink, with deep Guiness type flavours. I will certainly look out for it again.

"Nutty Slack" was on sale in the Victoria & Commercial last week when I popped in although I didn't sample it at the time.

Tetleys mild, on handpump is still available at the Commercial (Top 'oil) in Churwell. It was in exellent nick last Friday night. I'd have posted earlier but because of the problems it slipped my mind.

The best pint of the festive break by miles (even after a bottle or two of red wine!)

Can i justfly the flag a bit for John Smiths smooth? I've tried to drink the cask stuff in local pubs but they don't keep it well / don't shift enough to keep it fresh. Often it is too warm.I will not drink "random" lager and strong lagers are, well, too strong. I find JS Smooth to be consistent, the right temperature and a decent everyday pint.Tetley's on the other hand is, of late, a disgusting drink, cask or not. I never touch guest beers as you have one barrel sat for two weeks going off.Leeds Best is a lovely pint but not many will drive into town on their own of a Sunday lunch because of the beer.If some of you deride us Smooth drinkers what do you make of the Budweiser brigade?
