The Twelve Pins, Finsbury Park

im sorry if i offended anyone, it just makes me mad when someone can dismiss one of my fav pubs in the world just because they dont serve cask ale. lager lout ? i drink Guinness myself, but when i first started drinking in pubs i used to drink Smithwicks irish ale. i like the odd Newcastle brown or a bottle of Youngs , but i cannot find anything nice to say about cask ales.

im more annoyed about the typical cask ale DRINKER than the product itself.
they take perverse pleasure in torturing the poor bar staff,forever asking for top ups, loudly complaining about the ale, talking down to my staff as if they were idiots. its very hard to get a decent pint of stout in london but i just take my trade elsewhere if i dont like the product, not harrasing the staff as if they are the servents in my country manor be-jay-sus ...

The Twelve Pins, Finsbury Park

to 'The_Pub_Inspector': look pal, no-one wants to drink real ale. its flat, warm, tastes gone off and is only drank by muggy english c*nts like u. it was quite popular back in the dark ages but beer brewing techniques have MODERNISED in the last 400 years or so. Guinness used to come in wooden barrels, tasted flat and was served warm, but they moved with the times and mixed it with nitrogen, served cold, metal kegs , etc.

I manage a pub where we are forced to serve horse piss, im mean 'fine ye olde english ale'. its only drank by tourists who dont know any better & mouldy knob heads over 40 years old, who swirl the slop around in the glass,pretend they are sampleing vintage champaine, declaring if it is "malty" or "hoppy" with a hint of "burnt chocolate notes".

only for CAMRA it would have died out in the 1970's, its only drank by twats who want to swan around with their pint mugs, showing off that they drink 'real' ale. these people are the hardest to please and spend the least amount of money, each glass of ale lasting at least an hour before they buy another.

so dont bother not being a regular visitor, just f*ck off and never come back.
