Quote Toadstool="Toadstool"Right, putting my old, pub owner hat on and taking my FD hat off....
Unfortunately it will never happen as Real ale is a natural product which is meant to mature in the cask and so it needs to be stored in situ to settle and then sold within a fixed period before it goes "off".
As a consequence it is impossible for a function venue to serve real ale unless it is connected to a pub which is operating daily and can keep the throughput at a high enough level.
There are, however, better quality keg ales which are stored under nitrogen pressure and can deliver a more "real aleish" product and maybe LSV can look at one of these as a premium offering.'"
Off the top of my head I have had cask ale at the Halliwell Jones, Langtree Park and Cougar Park in recent months?
