Why? Taste? Nostalgia? Price point?




It's Abbot Ale, Boddington's, or Old Speckled Hen. Taste and nostalgia ;) Certainly not price point...we don't economize on the important things! I also like the texture of them, not as fizzy, even if it's not the same as a true draft pull.



Boddingtons?
While I approve of the other two, I really can't approve of Boddingtons. It is the Fosters of the ale world:P
