Watney's Red Barrel.
Like making love in a punt!
Tankard... Tasted like one with no beer in it.
Courage Best..... not really!
We were saved by being close to Devizes, so Wadworths, and being able to get hold of proper scrumpy if you knew where to go.
And Courage Directors was OK, if you could find it.
Tartan was bearable. Just.

When I was moving around the country a bit in my working life I found that the same brand of beer was brewed differently in different parts of the country to suit local tastes. Whitbread in the north east was krap, in Kent it was nectar. By far the best beers were found in Kent. Sadly one by one the best breweries closed down, but still some good ones out there.
