Tell Peggy to stuff it

_1789380_emmerdale_150.jpg_1789380_emmerdale_150.jpgThe Southport Drinker is sorry to note that The Queen Vic has stopped serving real ale. If you wondered why everyone is so spiteful and aggressive with each other in Walford, you know now it is because life-giving real ale has disappeared.

_1789380_emmerdale_150.jpg_1789380_emmerdale_150.jpgThey should come up to Weatherfield, where the Rover’s Return _1789380_emmerdale_150.jpg_1789380_emmerdale_150.jpgstill stocks cask. Newton & Ridley is the favoured beer, although the pub is now a free house and guest ales are appearing.

At the Woolpack in Emmerdale, there’s an ever-changing selection of guest ales. Thanks to Maeib, we also know now that The Jockey in Shameless has an interesting selection of brews.

So why has the Queen Vic turned its back on Churchill’s cask? Camra should run a campaign to bring it back.

In the meantime, boycott EastEnders and only watch Coronation Street.

The Queen is not amused

UPDATE: after two-weeks absence, there are bar clips at the Queen Vic again, although no one is drinking pints. How do I know this when I am boycotting EastEnders? Because I’m psychic.

  3. [...] none of those dodgy bottles of Skoe or Stellberg lager that they drink on EastEnders either, which all sensible people are boycotting because of the refusal of characters to drink real [...]
