Pride and Pride

I used to go to a pub some years ago where every time I walked in there would be a pride and pride on the way to being poured even before I got to the bar.

Great service, except on days when all I wanted was an orange juice, but I never turned it down.

Pride and pride was an accepted pint back then, but now I find myself explaining to bar staff what it is I mean and I still get slightly bemused looks.

Marston's Pedigree

I was in London the other day and went through several pints of Pedigree in the city. Years ago I always thought that Pedigree didn't travel too well at all, but this time around it was a really good pint. I was very impressed.

I once had the good luck to sample pedigree from the brewery itself and it was excellent stuff. When you have a pint like that it is difficult to come back to a lesser version in more average surroundings.

However, the few pints of Pedigree I had in town the other day were really very good indeed.
