Wanted Inn

You must also remember that beer of 40 odd years ago was very different to modern real ale stuff.
Think of Mansfield Bitter, delivered in huge petrol tanker type lorries and pumped into miner's welfare clubs.
Home Ales and Shipstones, all now (thankfully) extinct.

This reminds me of a certain Working Mens Club in Chapel en le Frith I used to work at many, many years ago.

The regulars always bought the cheapest, nastiest beer they could find and pour it down their necks in great quantities. The bloke I worked for, introduced real ale into the club. we were lucky to sell a couple of pints a night as it was quite a bit more expensive than the mass produced sock juice.

Says a lot about the regulars I suppose......

All it says is that they were set in their ways.
