Pubs With No Beer.

[gulliver1]

Weatherspoons and other Public Houses can not dispense beer, due to lack of supplies of CO2 caused by the closure of factories producing CO2. { During World Cup} OMG. P+++ up in a brewery. Can't we ask the EU to supply us.

[ummmm]

According to the TV yesterday it should be sorted in a few days.

[rowanwitch]

What...... get some bottles in pronto

[Captain2]

Just drink Cask/Real Ale - no need for CO2

[rowanwitch]

Ghost ship for me, but only as a very special treat now once a week

> Can't we ask the EU to supply us.

What would be the point. The problem is affecting mainland Europe too. Heineken for example

Surely it must be only fizz they've run out of ? Real ale must surely still be on hand pump ?

I'll have to do some research in my locals. A hard job but someone should do it.

Captain . agree with you. Unfortunately there are not enough pubs that sell hand drawn cask beer, also a lot of bar staff would not have the skill to present the perfect pint.

[Old_Geezer]

Hard enough to find one that knows what a barley wine is. Or a shandy in some cases (they give you a strange look if you ask for one).

Crikey a whole 20 minutes of training, we've never been big on investing in our staff though have we?

[Captain2]

gulliver, fortunately there are plenty of such outlets in my neck of the woods, so I'll keep my end up for the rest of you.
O_G, I know what you mean, try asking for a pint of Mixed (which I was weaned on) these days and they look at you as if you are stupid.

F/F 09.54 "Can't we ask the EU to supply us"? even if they did, it would not help us. Uk can not operate trains because of the heatwave.

Central Nizhny Novgorod ran out of beer when Sweden visited. A 3-0 win over Mexico since then ought to have the country’s bars on full alert.

Lager drinkers need to man-up and get some real ale down yer throats :-)

[douglas9401]

Why not just open a window, stick a hose out, suck up some of the dangerous co2 we hear so much about, compress and bottle it a hey prestwick, two problems solved. :-)

It's not just beer that's affected. There is a shortage of dry ice used in food transportation. There is a problem in Europe as well apparently, but it's more of a problem in the UK
