Is there still a North/South divide?

You might be onto something though, they have hard water down sarf,(only thing that is )

Cheekie puppie... Yes, you do get used to your local water 'type'... Can't really drink tapwater anywhere else other than here... And, as has already been said, number one on serving good beer is keeping the pipework clean...

They say that London water has been passed by at least 7 inspectors before it reaches the taps.

Maybe if it was passed by Snelly it would be the hardest water in the village!

I wonder if your "internal plumbing" furs up like the kettles do??

Answer to the OP - Yes the beer taste fupping awful down here - it's worth driving 200 miles home just for a decent pint!

Try Hogs Back beer

The World Health Organization says that "there does not appear to be any convincing evidence that water hardness causes adverse health effects in humans".[1] In fact, the National Research Council has found that hard water can actually serve as a dietary supplement for calcium and magnesium.

There is some excellent southern beer. Hogs Back Tea and Harveys Best Bitter are both superb. Some of the best pints you can get in England. Almost as good as Timothy Taylors Landlord, but not quite.

Hogs Back Tea (stands for Traditional English Ale btw) is a very excellent pint brewed all of 2miles (if that) from me. They also brew some wickedly powerful stuff. However TT Landlord gives it a very good run for it's money I agree.

 

[blackpuddinmonster]

I've had Harveys and TT landlord and i agree gentlemen, both excellent pints.
Especially when served with a good creamy head on.

I swear that we should arrange a Beer and Golf forum meeting up in Yorkshire. World class beers coupled with world class golf courses. I could be onto something
