More of a win-lose. Free half but no pint![/quote:3mu15306]

I had every intention of keeping the 2 small kegs until the festival week, but the brewers asked me to put on a keg for a visiting journalist.

Don't be offended with the staff, they were doing as i asked. Look for me next time and I'll fill a glass for you <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Had a few pints of Metalman Pale Ale on cask at the Franciscan Well last Friday night. Very nice drink. Well done to all concerned.

I'm going to try to make it to the B&C tonight to try it on cask... hopefully there's still some left by then.

(I wish Against the Grain would start carrying it; it's a much more convenient location for me...) -Sierra Nevada is great and all, but it's readily available in bottle; I'd rather see LOCAL stuff available on tap. And while I'm at it, it would be great to see that Guinness tap replaced in there, too... <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
