I just feel that CAMRA should not be promoting campaigns that do little for the promotion of real ale and pubs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665173932595377075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004276568366269138.post-51508468765064237732014-12-04T19:17:41.400+00:002014-12-04T19:17:41.400+00:00While I'm a great lover of pubs, there are man...While I'm a great lover of pubs, there are many occasions where people might want to have a beer at home or at private parties and, <a href="http://pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/out-of-control.html" rel="nofollow">as I said here</a>, I think it's wrong to try to make out that one is inherently better than the other.<br /><br /><i>"Over the years, for a variety of reasons, most of which fall under the category of “the tide of history”, there has been a marked shift away from on-trade drinking, and for most people their drinking is now a balance between the two depending on the context. Plenty of people probably never drink in a pub from one month to the next. The attitude of “we never have drink in the house” now comes across as distinctly old-fashioned. And it has to be pointed out that there’s a slight inconsistency in self-proclaimed beer lovers bewailing the plight of pubs while at the same time stocking up on obscure American and Belgian imported bottles from specialist off-licences."</i>Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004276568366269138.post-57103475668146695192014-12-04T17:54:19.933+00:002014-12-04T17:54:19.933+00:00Do you never drink beer in the house?

I expect you probably don't live over £6 round trip bus fare from your nearest real ale pub either.<br /><br />PS Your previous post makes a pretty good case for craft keg.The Maltese Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13693275203620288419noreply@blogger.com
