I think a pub is a social meeting place, obviously it sells alcohol, and it's licensed with that licensing coming to age limits, varying from 18, let's say 18, to cubic symbol, to whatever age.
A pub is a meeting place, can be a sense of the community where people meet for a drink, for some sports games, just a general chit chat.
It's a safe haven. It's a good establishment to drink in, you know, just a good environment to meet your friends.
I tend to, getting a bit older now, I just tend to come and drink where it's a decent beer, where I know the full line is all up after.
Basically, the barrels are brewed at Robinson's Brewery, and then we get them as a sealed barrel, and then basically when they come, we'll put them up onto the stills, which you'll have to stay there for 24 hours, and then we'll do what's called taping and venting.
Then 24 hours after that, we can then save the beer, which will then be transformed from here, with both the line, through a cooler, and up onto the top bar, where then where you get your pint.
Can of people, different people, different strokes, different thoughts, depends on what you want, what they want.
Some kids want a young, lively pub with shorts and shorts on, older people like myself, like a preferer, you know, a real heirloader.
A real heirloader.
What was it you called ale before? Warm? Warm wine or something?
Warm wine, yeah.
I don't drink ale though, I just can't. We've been on the standard, drink loads of shit lager, and then move on to the shorts.
The majority of our more mature drinkers like the real ale, like the different ale, but there is a growing number of younger customers who are getting into the real ale, but that's predominantly what we sell is real ale.
We don't do any alcapops or shorts or anything like that, so you tend to not attract the more lary element, shall we say, so it's always a safe, good atmosphere.
It's got several features that younger people love, but the very younger people hate because they see it's all grandad stuff, but it's really not that, and it's actually mature through your life. You get different things elsewhere, because it suffers a different thing to it, your different age.
It's the kind of boozer, a boozer is the kind of place I like to drink in, another upscale place that I'd walk into and see people drinking a cocktail, sitting in a shirt or anything like that.
I just want a drink where somebody wouldn't talk to me, and they can sit down with a beer.
Being more into the metal scene myself, I tend to find it's more what people are looking for on nighting. There's a stigma behind sort of ale drinkers, bitter drinkers. That's an old man's drink, I've got a great family.
Just many happy memories of very, very sociable drinks, half a shandy, and then we all go home.
