Now it all makes sense why you like Smithwicks pale ale so much and look down on all the Ohara's beers! lol!

Don't blame me. When I go up to the automatic till thing in Tesco with my bottle of Leann Follain and go to pay for it with my Diageo dividends the machine just keeps saying "I'm sorry Dave, but I can't do that[/url:2vauxeio]" when I try to swipe the bottle.

In the book Beer Is Proof That God Loves Us (thanks John), Charlie Bamford recants a story where he put colouring into a regular beer and then surveyed a blind tasting. Everyone agreed that the darker beer was better tasting and more superior.

Interested to know what these chemicals actually are that the macros are supposed to be putting in their beers. Anybody actually know what they are and what results they create on the beer?

The Porterhouse used to, and possibly still does, have a list on blackboards in Temple Bar and on the menus. Charlie Bamforth is pretty candid when it comes to talking about them.
Foam stabilisation is certainly one of the things they do.
