I dunno if any of you lot are as lucky as we are in South London, but
dahn ere Sthpooooon's is, pub by pub, running out of Greene King IPA.
My local, The White Lion of Mortimer, is therefore now selling - wait
for it - Ruddles Best at - wait for it - 99p a pint! In Tooting I
think they have - wait for it - Courrage Best (I didn't try that as
they also had - wait for it - JHB).

I had Pedi at 99p, they've even (in 1 pub) run out of Cge Best and Pedi,  
and put one of the guests on at said bargain price.

But unfortunately never ever as wonderful as it was when I tasted it at 
the Brewery well over 20 years ago. Bliss!

Thats because it "goes off" with time.

Ken.

My local received a new order of Greene Kynnge IPA so last night I was
back on that; I was a bit short of money. In fact, can any of you lend
me £1000?
I have heard that some Wethersponns, having run out of both GK IPA and
the Ruddles Best, are selling a guest beer at 99p.
If you know of any, why not post it here?

Back when the festival was on, Batley had Inveralmond Ossian at 99p and it 
was excellent! (although GK IPA was still available)
