The term "p...Jason,<br /><br />thanks for your comment!<br /><br />The term "proper pint" is kind of an inside joke I have with Beer Run. They have 20oz servings, in classic British nonic glasses - hence the "proper" pint rather than the small American pint, which is 16oz.<br /><br />There are very few breweries that seem to understand cask ale - I have heard of some just filling a cask from the primary fermenter without priming sugar or finings. In August I am heading to Baltimore where, I believe, Pratt Street Alehouse has a good selection an cask ales.Alistair Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521229482537361840.post-80771521753705290252012-06-22T06:37:05.508-04:002012-06-22T06:37:05.508-04:00It is sad when a pub gets rid of a hand-pull or ca...It is sad when a pub gets rid of a hand-pull or cask beer. I feel very few breweries have beer engines. The one that I worked at (but left because I am too busy with graduate school), has one, but it isn't real. It is forced carbonated, they try to mislead you. I won't go into much other detail because I don't like complaining.<br /><br />I feel that only certain breweries will not carry "live" beer in a cask because it goes bad (i.e., flat) and they lose the profit. I would love to be back in Michigan, where I use to live, because there are many breweries popping up all of the time, and they know that cask beer are the way to go to get a real beer geek to come in.<br /><br />I do have a question. I am not keen of what a "proper pint serving" is? I could google it, but I want to hear what you think it is (since you are from across the pond). <br /><br />I am a first time reader and really enjoy your blog. I'll be sure to keep up with your blog.<br /><br />JasonJason Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483497571524820827noreply@blogger.com
