The third foulest brew I've ever drunk was an Old Peculiar that I had in a pub by Menai Bridge in Wales. I had a half pint, friend had a full pint. Horrible, horrible stuff. I managed to gag down the half but he couldn't finish the pint. We were going to complain that it was off but I noticed that the locals were swilling it down and going back for more. I've had it a few times since and, as longdog says, it's a crapshoot what you are going to get on draft.Indeed, I’ve never understood Bobs, and I enjoy nothing better then getting my chips wet as I inadvertently walk through those new dancing fountains.
I hope the Olde White Hart has sorted its problem with Old Peculiar out, I’m due for a visit this summer, and last time the pint was awful. Although I think ownership had changed .
The worst beer I've ever been served was called the Cheeky Monkey in the Head of Steam in Liverpool. Best description I can give is rotting, very rotting, mushrooms. Neither of us could handle more than a few sips.
Last time I was in Ye Olde White Hart they were serving, if memory doesn't lie, Goblin.
