Waz's in Uphall Bankton DayToDAy by Livi South station Day To Day in Blackburn (Rowan Street) Realise they may be a bit out the way but worth remembering if you're out this way.

Will probably try the camden pale ale, hopefully a decent replacement for the excellent la virgen 360 which they have delisted ☹️ The magic rock keg indeed sounds rank, though doubt it can be much worse than Mikkeller GOT pale ale i have in at the moment.

Gerd Muller Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Has anyone had to send there machine back to Phillips to get fixed? Had my machine for over 2 years now and when I put a keg thats already down to 3c from the fridge to the machine it starts at 24c and only get down to 8c before flucuating back up to 12c. I have followed a youtube video where you take the back of the machine off and clean and hoover the fan and heatsink. Still the same issue, thinking its the thermostat and looking likely I'll need to send the machine to be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The service was tremendous (think they picked the machine up from my house), and the repair cost about £60 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muldoon74 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Popped into one of my local suppliers on way home. Intended to p[ick up a keg of something for tomorrow (Not necessarily the coronation but just tomorrow, I know how judgemental JKB can be! ) saw they had Becks Gold out of date kegs for half price. Works out a t £17.75. Here's the good bit,.. I won £20 on a scratch card a few weeks ago, set it aside for my keg. Also had an empty from my last one. £8 cash gathered over last few weeks (change from chinese takeaways coz they don't take cash). So I bought 2 kegs for the price of 1. Only had to pay £2.50 out the bank. Bonus. It's in and chillin' ready for tomorrow.... Although daughter has persuaded me (actually not me her mum) to give her one of them. She's got 2 empties and has sent £7 to me so I don't mind really. I'll pick up another tomorrow (she's really just too lazy to get off the bus a stop earlier tomorrow and carry up the hill.. Becks Gold actually quite nice I think. Gonna branch out into a Goose Island IPA next time I go... Heard it's decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I guess so if they're stocking it but bloody hell. If I'm in a pub that serves it I pints then yes, also I tend to pour two bottles/cans into a glass at home coz I make it last longer and order it that way. I wouldn't buy Corona on pd as it's exactly the same in keg form as it is in bottle/can. Just not worth the extra money. I think Scottish licensing laws will severely dampen the pd experience for Asda shoppers. Shops in Scotland have to have all alcohol in same area, no end of aisle displays throughout stores etc. If Asda set aside and area for pd only (can't by law unless it's within the rest of the alcohol section) I think they could smash it. But good old snp war on alcohol makes things unnecessarily difficult yet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
