Originally posted by Mapletree The beer of my youth. Just pure nectar. Especially before they reduced the ABV back in the 80s or 90s. The Dog and Bull, Railway Telegraph, Fountain Head, Plough, Dukes Head, Greyhound. All hallowed ground. Now it's just meh. So frustrating. Anyone else an ex addict? Now that Sambrooks have moved into the Ram Brewery, which has the longest uninterrupted period of continuous brewing in the UK, I have discussed with Duncan he could do a retro brew. John Hatch has joined Sambrooks, previously the Youngs' brewer since 1986. So, if anyone feels as strongly as me about a pint of Special get on to Duncan and twist his arm please. I think the early 2000's Mr Young died. Whilst alive he promised to keep the brewery at Wandsworth. As soon as he died, his family moved the Brewery to somewhere in Bedfordshire, to reduce operating costs. This was pivotal, as the most influential ingredient to beer,...is water. And the water in Bedfordshire is definitely not the same as Wandsworth. Anyhow, it is still a very fine pint, and was my favoured brew when I lived in FH. The Bricklayers Arms (Dartmouth Road) and the Dulwich Woodhouse were 2 of my favoured establishments. I do miss it. The thought is making my throat dry I disengage, I turn the page.

Once saw Nadia Sawalha there, her family home was nearby in Upper Norwood.

Charles wells ruined it, Marstons destroyed it. Demand it back. Write to Duncan Sambrook. He can do it.
