On the flip side though, places that do maintain and accesible online list will often get my visit when I would've otherwise just popped to somewhere locally.<br /><br />We're no doubt in a transition phase where some pubs are early adopters of the web and others just aren't. In 10 years time what will it be like?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.beerbirrabier.com" rel="nofollow">BeerBirraBier.</a>Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280318504737098116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521229482537361840.post-78010335373298402462011-05-05T04:53:38.341-04:002011-05-05T04:53:38.341-04:00I forgot to say something I find even more peculia...I forgot to say something I find even more peculiar than this is pubs that don't have a website at all.

However the manager recently started a beer blog listing their beers, specials, weekly (sometimes daily) cask offerings as well as meal deals. http://buyirishbeer.blogspot.com/<br />It would be great of there was at least a link to that blog on the main bull and castle website. For now only us beoir.org members and those who take note of the chalkboard behind the bar will know about it.Reuben Gray - TaleOfAlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15948722985150698273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521229482537361840.post-54255530858243301932011-05-04T18:21:17.809-04:002011-05-04T18:21:17.809-04:00I think for some pubs it can be quite a difficult ...I think for some pubs it can be quite a difficult one, especially if you have rotating beers and different beers from many various breweries. keeping up with the updates every time you change a barrel and put something else on can be a trying thing. However, there still is room for said pubs to at least make an effort to display something about the beer served (cask, keg how many, styles etc...). I know there's many pubs out there who don't change their beers who are just plain failing if they don't tell you what they are.Ghost Drinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753576955816756710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521229482537361840.post-41573503351120699982011-05-04T14:35:20.276-04:002011-05-04T14:35:20.276-04:00Good points, well made.

Mr foleys in leeds then link this to their twitter account, so all twitter followers get an update when a new beer arrives on the bar. Its a simple effective service that has made me make a special trip more than once because i fancied the beer mentioned.<br /><br />http://www.yourround.co.uk/Pub/Leeds/Mr-Foley's-Cask-Ale-House/LS1-5RG.aspx<br /><br />I wish all pubs did the same!Neil, Eating isn't Cheatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08675093938811871515noreply@blogger.com
