I have been all week, while you lot have been not drinking good beer. now is your time to play. entry is around 8 quid (don't know i get in free) beer is around 2.60 a pint, best real ales, and fat anti-social men in Brittan under one roof.

Any Adnams on show?

BoBoB · 6th August 2008

My mates got a house in Southwold, proper posh they are, have spent maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany a night in the pub next to the lighthouse dribbling myself into a stupor on broadside/explorer....

Adnams rule... they still deliver their ale locally by horse and cart, a bit like youngs used to until very recently

RPM · 6th August 2008

yes, but ask any adnams tied pub landlord an he'll tell you a sob story.

they make great beer, have a lovely new eco-building, but treat their people like shite.

my parents ran two adnams pubs back in the 70's , it was the same situation then. The non-adnams pubs still buy the beer wholesale (for less) and flog it cheaper than the tied pubs, which sounds spazzy but true.

I'm going on friday. It will be excellent.

chris crash · 6th August 2008

tommy i will be around on fri as well, find me.

wibble, i'm sure there is, but have not seen it :(

wibble · 6th August 2008

I've not heard about that before, seems a bit shite of them to be honest..

As you say, great beer (The latest carbon neutral 'East Green' is really nice) and I guess that fools you a bit into thinking they might not be such a big nasty brewery.. :(

Edit: Also, would be there if it weren't for being back in Suffolk.. Oh well, I have a bottle of Explorer in the fridge

TheBrick(Tommy) · 6th August 2008

I'll be there with a 6'7" welsh man. It makes me even easier to spot.

BoBoB · 6th August 2008

BRM.... well, he looks welsh :)

hippy · 6th August 2008

Yes.. much carnage begins at these things. I was the only person to bring a glass back alive..

that looks like last years.

nimhbus · 7th August 2008

i don't like Adnams beer much, it's over rated.

BringMeMyFix · 7th August 2008

I like Broadside - and the fact their bottles use less glass than normal. Easier to carry home loads of them :)

CHUG_IT · 8th August 2008

Has Cambridge/Milton Brewery got a stand?

rik · 8th August 2008
