After my first pint of Butcombe Gold last night, my nearest JDW - the Britannia, Rowley Regis, West Midlands - couldn't sell any Cider, Lager or Real Ale because they had run out of 'gas'. The only draught drinks were Banks's Original Smoothflow and Guinness (both nitro-keg).
According to another punter, the ale spurted out and was all froth when they tried to serve it.
The staff told me that the gas was to 'help pump the beer' or words to that effect.
A couple of bottles of Newkie Brown went down nicely instead.
What's going on here?
Will.
