Pete Kicks CAMRA in the Nuts

That's correct, The greatest beer blogger of all time and Dungeons and Dragons Guild dungeon master Pete Brown has once again stated the obvious about CAMRA and caused controversy. Not that CAMRA doesn't deserve a swift kick in the nuts from time to time, but hey remember that The Beer Diary did it first.

I still don't get the issue with simple pleasures such as proper real keg. Why shouldn't the consumer have the right to drink beer that has not been tainted with the foul putrid air that lives in Pub cellars. Really, I want someone to put a petri dish down there and try and culture what nasties inhabit these areas. They are obviously not fit for food preparation or consumption. Like if I put a sandwich down there and served it 48 hours later it would probably make someone ill. But apparently because pubs have been around since before refrigeration, bottled carbon dioxide and god forbid cask breathers, its acceptable. The devices I listed earlier are designed to make sure beer is optimal at point of sale, but the chat to any CAMRA member and fresh, cold beer is actually tainted? I don't get it, but then I can walk out of building, across the road and have a really top Schooner of James Squire Porter in proper real keg form anytime I so choose to.
