This will no doubt mark me as unsophisticated but I have to admit that I miss Watney's Red Barrel. I gather that this was the beer that was the last straw in the eyes of the founders of CAMRA, the Campaign For Real Ale but back when there was an Elephant & Castle in the Eaton Centre I regularly enjoyed this beer, undoubtedly because of its prominent and frequent mention in Monty Pythons's travel agent sketch. I used to order John Smith's Yorkshire Bitters as well.
It may not have been "good" beer but it was distinct from what was more readily available and it was another step on the road in my infatuation with craft beer.
