What do you think? £5? £10 per week? per fill? And of course, full replacement cost in case of damage...<br /><br />There's probably more money in that than in this beer lark.StringersBeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573068197944669997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634985112809013944.post-14913613642253370802010-07-29T15:25:58.032+01:002010-07-29T15:25:58.032+01:00"Clearly then, someone has removed our keysto..."Clearly then, someone has removed our keystone for some reason (did they get their tap stuck?)"<br /><br />No, Jon, it's far more likely that they took one of your empties, filled it with their beer, and sold it. Happens a lot, especially in 'brewpubs' where the landlord has a ready supply of someone else's casks so he doesn't have to go to the trouble of investing in his own. In fact there is one fairly new brewery not too far from you and I which has been doing this with our casks, Dent casks, and (I suspect) everyone else's casks. See, I wouldn't mind too much if I had been asked, 'cos I'm a friendly sort of person, but when I'm not asked this comes under the heading of 'taking a liberty' and I strongly object!Shelaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786971631889548061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634985112809013944.post-19405829350606472392010-07-05T21:34:29.341+01:002010-07-05T21:34:29.341+01:00Indeed.

I'm reminded of the weak bladdered old gent who (fed up of people nicking his pint while he used the facilities), places a beer mat on top inscribed with the message "I have spat in this pint". He comes back and finds some joker has added "so have I".StringersBeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573068197944669997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634985112809013944.post-88555125483136199252010-07-05T19:29:13.095+01:002010-07-05T19:29:13.095+01:00Most of our casks are metal so we haven't had ...Most of our casks are metal so we haven't had anyone determined enough to knacker any yet. <br /><br />The permanent marker thing is a right wind up though.
