Double Maxim on draft In the Yellow Rose

Granda used to work for Vaux and got beer/lager/pop as part of his wages - garage was always full of Double Maxim, Samson, Tuborg....all Vaux stuff.

Was too young to get stuck in unfortunately. Dad never bought beers for years.

Loved it - I seem to recall a slightly sweeter taste than a lot of beers.

Yellow Rose - George Webb I recall was the manager there. Great bloke.
One of my many happy memories.

You can get it in a few pubs around here. Deffo The Gypsy Rover in Redcar has it because I have drank it in there.

Houghton le Spring.
If I'm up home I'll bring some back with me... Morrisons sell it. Pleasantly surprised to see it in the Fareham Asda. Probably just trialling to see if it goes.

I also preferred a pint of Samson with a nice foamy head to Exhibition the Newcastle alternative.

Last time I had pint of DD was a few years ago in the Mayflower in Ottawa.
They still brew it for the export market apparently, and it was a cracking pint.

Strongarm Ruby Red was better.

Any pubs still doing it... hard to find now.

It was on in Hartlepool Wetherspoons but weak as ****.
