I had a similar downer on Lee's beers for decades. But have found it needs to be kept in top form, otherwise it is rank. However, if ever near either The Elizabethan in Heaton Moor, try it (Manager Hughie, in there JW Lee's top bloke) or The Blue Pitts in Castleton.....constantly the winner of best kept cellar....was in on Friday just gone....great pint.
Hughie is a truly superb manager. That place was, incredibly, taking only 6 grand a week when he took over. JWLees have turned into a pretty competent pub retailer in recent years, which is a good thing as their beer is, as others have euphemistically said, an acquired taste.
The viral promo for Manchester Star Ale is mildly amusing, but as I'm in the car on the way to Wembley on an iPad I'm struggling to embed it.
