Interesting. Down here in Southampton there aren't often sparklers on ale taps.

Apparently in England (can't speak for Wales) there's a regional divide - Us southerners like a relatively flat ale, with no real head. In the north a beer ought to have a bit of fizz and hold a foamy head.

Yeah I wonder if the lockdown is going to kill any of the local industry. There are three or four decent ale and craft bars in walking distance of my house, and I'd like to keep it that way.



Yeah that's pretty much my experience as well. Wales seems to follow the north in liking sparklers, although there's fewer darker beers/bitters over here. I grew up in the Cotswolds with nice flat bitters, so I struggled when I first moved over here :D


All this talk of beer, could murder a proper pint in a proper pub right now! Still, have to wait I suppose.


A local pub near me is giving away their beer, I think a lot will as it will go bad otherwise.


My local is actually doing takeaway beer (they had a license for it before this), and it has been so popular that they keep running out of cartons.


I wondered about that! Restaurants all over town have signs on them, advertising bottles and cases for sale.


Maybe someone could do a VR "proper pub experience"? ;-)


That's most Saturday nights in VRChat, even before COVID-19.
