Sorry to take this thread back in time.
As a student in the 70's Bass bitter (Red triangle on the handpump),
and the cask - NOT the keg - Worthington E bitter were both greatly enjoyable sessionable handpumped real ales, and entirely different.
For a golden, blessed while.
Each randomly found throughout Britain, experienced on many a YHA based pub crawl.
On a different named beer topic, cask Whitbread Trophy was hilarious as a National but regional brew.
All those smaller regional breweries under the Whitbread wing brewed one for the local trade. Each was a good IPA type beer, but entirely different from any other brewery in the country.
Whitbread Fremlins Faversham was my hoppy-forward favourite Trophy.
But then again, I am a true Man of Kent.
Trophy from Whitbread Tiverton was an entirely different malty beast, Flower's of Cheltenham elegance and balance.
Can't remember any others atm - anyone else care to chip in.
). I just can’t seem to get it right in the keg.
