Between them they've got pages and pages of letters and articles on the key questions facing beer drinkers: can multinational companies brew craft beer, why doesn't everyone like Wetherspoon's and why can't CAMRA promote Guinness?*
These debates are endless because no conclusion is possible. With craft beer, it's like the bit in Alice Through the Looking-Glass where Humpty Dumpty says "When I use a word,it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."; with Wetherspoon's and Guinness it's a question of personal preference.
* The answers are: there's no such thing; because most of them are soulless barns full of geriatric alcoholics; it's keg.
I find these never-ending whinges, which is all they are, pointless and tedious. I wish they could tell the difference between their opinions and facts.
ReplyDeleteI love Wetherspoons. Maybe because I'm a geriatric alcoholic.
