I will raise you a John Willie Lees mild now that is a struggle. No matter what it's better than the cans at Knowsley Road.
I was at a Wigan (Athletic) game a few weeks ago and they had a real ale brewed for them by Bowland. It was quite nice and had sold out by half time !
That stupid cow of a manageress who took over some time after John Harvard left ruined it, especially when she started letting a big bunch of coke-heads from The Windle (when it was being done up) effectively run the pub and drive a lot of the regulars away. So I'm told.
Yesterday I sampled a few scoops of the new Red Vee and I was pleasantly surprised.
Not bad at all for keg.
IMHO definitely an improvement on the old Saints Gold.
Just need discounts for Camra Members !

I wonder if they have this new one in the Cricks or anywhere like that? I'm not a big real ale fan but that Saints gold wasn't bad to my taste.
I sampled the Red V Smooth yesterday.
Deffo better that Saints Gold, but don't think I could drink it all night.

Love Belgian beers, just as well really as we're there so often.
However, Czech beers are also extremely good, worldwide reputation.
I've found Belgian bars now in nearly every European city I've been in, plus quite a few in S E Asia. Quality is as good as drinking it in Belgium itself.
Really can't compare them with the largely hideous plastic Irish bars you find everywhere, where Guinness is nowhere near as delicious as in Ireland
