Every ground that we have visited has "electric" ale in plastic "glasses", with the exception of Fev, which at least was hand pulled and if you smile at the bar staff, they even give you a proper glass.
I'm afraid plastics is all about health and safety and they do leave an after taste even to our beers a the time when we sold them there, there is a better hard plastic that don't leave a taste but the cost hell of a lot more.
I would of loved to continue down at the stadium but the body has told me different,
shame as I loved doing it.
Belle Vue Blonde, Legend and Hop and under will live on as a recipe at the new brewery at Morley call Cooper Hill Brewery, we are at present in the process of training them so they use these as their core beers.
getting it to the north stand was a task in its self, each match day I had to have prepared at lease 3 cask for serving which meant having 4 ready and stood wait for it to be re-racked on the day so when I took it up it was as clear a bell.
I installed the pump and cleaned the lines.
serving up to 200 pints in the game was hard work but it then it didn't finish there as I took the pump back to the brewery to flushed and cleaned it for the next game.
IF the Club was interested in putting hand pulled on within the club house on rack they could do so but it is harder to look after than keg and has a shorter shelf life.
