Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

+1 but it ain't just London where you don't get a proper head. It's the little plastic sparkler they screw onto the pump that creates it. Next time your up north find a friendly local landlord and ask if they've a spare and take it with you to the pub down south. It's quite amusing watching bar staff struggling to pull a pint when they've fitted it!
Does anyone know where the north/south beer devide begins? I know in Cambridge they serve flat/headless beer and derby its served with a proper head. But there's a lot of milage between that I'm not sure about.

It's not just that. The bar staff don't give the first pull enough force to generate a bit of fizz. Northern barmaids have massive biceps.

You'd have thought one of the oh-so trendy craft beer pubs would have nailed it by now.

One of the few places you do get a good pint in London is in Sam Smiths pubs. Also had a lovely pint of Ruddles in Wetherspoons when I was waiting for my Chinese takeaway the other day.

I've turned into my dad haven't I?
