I don't think I am in breach of the Official Secrets Act if I reveal that we had Watney's Red Barrel in kegs in HMS Renown.On tap beer dispenser.
My brother-in-law and I got invited onboard a Dutch minesweeper that was visiting Falmouth. One of the crew was celebrating his 21st and there was a big party onboard. We ended up joining the lads in their crew mess where they had Orangeboom on tap. Very unlike the USA where all the ships are totally dry. We were sh*tfaced and staggered home at about 2am. Got invited back for a proper tour of the ship the next day. Great lads.
Not my first choice of beer by a long chalk but better than nothing.
