Saturday 29 February 2020, my last pint in the Corn Dolly (before the Plymouth Argyle match).
Hopefully, I'll be back in there well before the next 29 February.

When I started on my beer drinking journey the pubs choice in Bradford was Tetleys, Whitbreads, Websters, Bass Charringtons, Courage/John Smiths, Sammuel Smiths, then you had the free houses and Timothy Taylor's when you got nearer Keighley. Later we had a couple of Trough Brewery pubs for a while. In those days there wasn't a big choice of lager on offer. Skol in Tetleys pubs, Heineken in Whitbread pubs (not the 5% stuff you get now), Carling Black Label in Bass Charrington houses, Webster's served Carlsberg and Courage/John Smiths had Harp. Ah memories......Jayteebee and Rogered Tart like this. -

My first eight years of drinking were down south and all the bitter was served without a head. I hated bitter with a head on. I've seen people blow a head off onto the counter and demand that the barperson fill the glass to the top to avoid a short pint (the glasses weren't oversized to accommodate a head like they are up here).
When I came to Bradford in 1980 it took me several weeks to get used to drinking beer with a head.
Certain bitters just don't taste right with a big head. My favourite pint used to be Greene King Abbot Ale, in the days when Greene King was a small regional East Anglian brewery and not the bloated conglomerate it has become. Abbot had a gorgeous nutty flavour back then (which it seems to have lost nowadays) which I loved. But when I tried a pint of it, in the late 80s, served as a guest beer in the Fighting *@?$, it just didn't taste the same with a head on. -
Looking forward to a pint of Timothy Taylors Boltmaker in the Corn Dolly
