I'm surprised you weren't dead... or at least mortally wounded.

Oh dear God, why did you bring that up?

The last time I did the Barrel as part of our old boys team, due to flight arrivals etc. I consumed the whole of our punch bowl. It's no surprise I was a bit ill.

we had the same talking point at an AGM a while ago.... the crowd who actually use the bar apparently couldn't drink the beer quick enough.  'Ullage' became the default answer to any problems...   Apparently thanks to a better social programme, the bar now makes a profit and they've still retained some tapped beer.

Trouble is these days it can be hard for a club to generate sufficient sales to do proper beer. We had to go to all bottled when we started throwing away the end of most barrels because it wasn't selling fast enough.

I don't think bottled beers should count. Anyone can serve ale grabbed from their nearest cash and carry. Real respect needs to go to those who are putting some care and attention to their ales.

And Pin Mill SC (although mainly cruising yachts I believe) is right next door to the Butt and Oyster (Adnams).
What could possibly go wrong?

Woodfordes Wherry at Norfolk Broads Yacht Club (Wroxham).  The brewery is only a couple of miles away so you can stock up on the way home!
