Ghostrider Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The only bad boy in that pub is behind the bar during the day But seriously - the real ale in there has got me off of the lager - its good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 So did I! And it had Old Peculier on for a while at that time. And even more Burton in the Punch Bowl on Crookes, and a fair few gallons of Castle Eden Ale (sorely missed) in the Cobden View too. <fx: student house memories flood back - even more so as I have 80's Metal Radio on at the moment .......> mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm thinks back to old days of Castle Eden in Museum, happy days Anybody know if Castle Eden is still made?

Bilge Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Think so - spotted an advert for it at Hartlepool's ground on TV the other day. It's still brewed in the NE I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, but isn't Castle Eden brewery long gone and just the brand name lives on. If it's being advertised in Hartlepool, I suspect it's something to do with Camerons.

If I remember correctly the brewery shut about 10 years ago (maybe a touch less), around the time that that dreadful keg 'Eden Bitter' was being punted about. As far as I know, cask Castle Eden is dead. edit - quick google shows it to be alive and, yes, brewed by Camerons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Eden Bitter was awful, it should never have been allowed to carry the name Edin I might be tempted to call into Dove after work tonight - anyone fancy a quick pint ?? Edit - or even Eden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhippy Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Well, it was round the time when breweries started to punt out keg, or rather smoothflow (still keg), as much as they possibly could. Could MURDER a pint, but won't be able to call in, I'm afraid ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Pity, I think I might try the wi-fi for size along with a pint of scrumpy Open from 12:00 tomorrow so could even be the place for a Friday dinner pint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
