I'm very sorry to hear of the incident below. It shouldn't happen and I apologise for it. Thankfully it is an example of something which I have never witnessed before and can't understand why it should have occurred on this occasion.

Hi Dearl,

I am very disappointed to read of your experience regarding your pint. Of course the beer should have been replaced and I have rebriefed the staff and I will endevour to ensure that this doesn't happen again.

If you make yourself known to me in the pub, I would be delighted to buy you a pint.

Apologies,

Ed.

Hi John,

Thank you for your review. The sign outside is not meant to be misleading. I apologise if it is. As you know GK have quite a stable of beers these days and as such I dip into them regularly to supplement Guest Ales from smaller brewerys.

My only 2 permanent ales are IPA and Royal London hence for example Abbot would for me be a Guest.

Whilst I always try to always have on at least 2 non GK Guests I do always serve my beer in date order so sometimes (as on your visit) it does look a bit GK heavy.

But hopefully as in H&H Bitter not your 'usual' GK beers!

Thanks,

Ed.
