Any volume maths experts here ?

Learn yer history laddie, where did the Normans start out?

I think it was Whitbread[0] who brought that in first, along with piss
weak northern style near beer. All praise consumer legislation and the
piss heads in CAMRA for helping us see them off. Shame we can't do the
same for lager.


[0] before they went broke[1] and were bought out by Jockish and Jordie
breweries,

[1] How the **** do you go broke selling a legalised addictive drug to
proles?

 

Hardly fair to compare pasturised bright beer to any real ale though is
it?

Amen to that

Scottish and Newcastle bought out Ruddles too. County hasn't been the same
since. Ruddles head brewer left and now brews at an independent called the
Grainstore. Their premium bitter bears more than a passing resemblance to
the original Ruddles County.

 

No! Really?

It bloody is. And that is precisely what we were not given a chance to
do.

All of a sudden the major southern breweries were selling Watney's Red
Barrel and other fizzy keg beer clones in huge thin plastic glasses with
two inches of froff on top and trying to kid us it was 'the real beer
experience'.

The Mirror[1] readers and the development of decent tins kept them in
business for a bit but only for a bit. The shrewd ones got into lager,
which works well as a gas fed keg beer, or they went back to brewing
something more like proper beer and the less clever ones got bought out.



[1] The Sun was quite posh in those days.

 

NAHAY?

 

LOL!

 

Didn't have us fooled though eh?

 

When you were at school they were still raving about that crazy guy Watt
and his new improved steam engine.

Open up your eyes, just to check that you're asleep, again

 

ITHM espresso.

 

ITYM Black beast.

 

While I agree that there is no 'x' in 'espresso', if he's talking
about froff he probably does mean a cappuccino, no?

 

I think I'll have a nice pint instead ta.

Hmmm, Taylors Best. Yum.

 

Watneys Red Barrel.

 

European.

They stopped teaching anything useful about 1978.
After that it was all vectors and sets.

Aluminium or stainless beerkeg. Bob's yer auntie.

 

I would have thought it would be nearer 16 litres.

I can't be bothered to work it out properly - I spend most of my working
days calculating volumes (usually tanks or ponds though), and I'm too
knackered to think maths at the moment.

But, depending on the thickness of the walls of the cylinder I'd guess
you're looking at somewhere between 15.5 and 16.5 litres.

 

... and from this, gentlemen, we can comfortably conclude that
it is indeed thickness - not length - that really counts. Robbo.
