    The Oak, Socketts Heath in Grays, Essex at age 16 - 1972. The beer was probably Worthington E.

    Nearly all the pubs in Thurrock sold disgusting keg Charringtons muck until around 1977, when the monopolies commission made them do some pub swaps with Courage. We then got to sample the hand pulled delights of Courage Best, Directors and Castle Eden bitter.
