London Boat Show 2009

[CaptnD]

Just been looking at PBO and the show guide. Although there is a big picture saying that the Guinniss Bar is a popular place to meet I can not see it on the plan. There is the Black and White Bar where Guinness was last year. Does anyone know if the G Bar is at the show? Has PBO got it wrong?

No mention of the G word Here

This is a 2007 news item - perhaps they signed a deal for a few years.

I expect the Black & White Bar might serve something black & white!

 

[CaptnD]

Hum. We can but hope. Looks as though the "iconic" bar could be represented. I remember one year they had a regular bar there and it was C**p. They did not know how to tap a Guinness.

Never understood this obsession with Guinness /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Apart from women breastfeeding, why would anyone else drink the stuff?

 

[bobgoode]

'Coz it's a darn sight nicer than most largers perhaps

 

[Babbers]

There's more than just lager.
What's wrong with a decent bitter?
How about a London Pride at the London Boat Show?

Thanks, that's very generous of you /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Better than the black stuff.

Gentlemen Please,

Any self respecting boat nut drinks any GOOD beer. London Pride well dispensed would be welcome but LBS and Guinness well tapped is an institution!!

A pal of mine worked for Gwinis, told me it was larger with a dollop of black dye and essance, each to their own. I prefer good old English ale, Brakspear will do nicely Landlord .

What was his job? Doorkeeper? I recognise that Guinness, like most major brands, is a continuous production line like a chemical plant, rather than a specialist batch process (as in Real ales)

However, Stout differs significantly from Lagers in a number of ways, the main one of which is the use of roasted "cracked" malts which give it the distinctive dark colour, rich flavour and heavy consistency. This may well be added into the production line as an "Essence", but the grain still needs to be malted and roasted to produce that essence.

You stick to your narrow minded perceptions & I will continue to sample as broad a range of alcohols as I can while I continue to refine my tastes & preferences. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sorry if I touched a nerve, my pal who I can't name was in the legal dept. and close to the then CEO.
As I said - each to their own.
