Riga

Were they real handpumps or fake ones? Real ones are illegal in some countries, notably Germany. I don't know about Latvia.

Wells have been exporting keg Bombardier for years.

I noticed this winter, on looking through the windows of a pub named "Dickens" in Old Riga, that they appeared to have several handpumps, and I could make out a Bombadier clip on one. Worth logging if you find yourself sick of the local stuff, anyway...


As I said - "through the window" - it was closed at the time so there really wasn't much else I could do... Hopefully someone will get a chance to check properly...

The supermarket had a number of bottled local baltic porters, I noticed.

It was on cask when I was there a couple of years ago, but wasn't last year when I visited it again.
