While I agree that it's really disingenuous to serve keg beer thru a handpump, I didn't know it was illegal in UK, anyone know what law that is?
I just assumed seeing as we have many dispense forms in UK, that any of the common ones were legal, (and that there was no compulsion to serve only cask beer thru a handpump) as long as you served about 90% of a pint in the glass.
I know I have been served cellar-tank beer thru a handpump in a brewpub in the past, but as it tasted lovely, and was unfiltered & unpasteurised (under blanket c02 tho) I didn't mind at all. Cheers, MikeMcG.
