Thursday April 8th BADRAG at the RAFA.
The April monthly social gathering was held at the Royal Air Forces Association clubhouse in Westbury-on-Trym by invitation of Phil Lowndes the Chairman and his committee. Unfortunately attempts to source a Mild Ale were not fruitful but the fifteen BADRAG supporters present enjoyed Uley Pigs Ear 5% abv, a light golden coloured "Strong IPA" that had little bitterness and drank like some Barley Wines. Also available and enjoyed were Uley Hogshead Pale Ale 3.5%; Wadworth's George and the Dragon 4.5%; St Austell Tribute 4.2% and Bass 4.4% all at £2.40 to £2.50 per pint. Five real ales for a club all in good condition was remarkable, they have a way of encouraging members to support real ale - they run a Cask Ale Club, members buy 20 pint cards for £40 that offer about 50p discount!
