Has this particular beer been infected with CV? I cannot seem to get it from anywhere. Original smiths, yeah, other beers, yeah - but not smooth.

🤣
 
Lots of beer suppliers having problems
They were geared up for the Euros but it all went in the mad rush pre lockdown.
Now the pubs are closed they can’t cope with demand.
Yeast being one of the key problems (mind you, not sure there is much of that in JS Smooth :))
 
There is a single shop near us that always has plenty in, however not a single other (half a dozen) ever have any. Mrs Fufkin even suggested it might be snidey JS. I like all kinds of craft ales and cask ales and I know there's beer snobbery by some folk, but I find it a decent enough beer, pretty inoffensive. Very difficult to get wrong in a pub so I usually try something 'off the wood' but if it's no good, a pint of Smith's is fine by me

Due to lack of some choice, we've found our regular shop seems to always have wainrights, speckled hen and golden hen which are all fine. If they have none of those it has to be macewans export which I find a bit fizzy

It's going to be quite some time before we can get to our local for a nice wylam gold, a blonde star or river catcher
 
Quite a few of our local breweries are delivering direct here in Leeds, some will send out by courier. Local pubs are also delivering cans, bottles and 5 litre boxes. Just waiting for my local to drop off 15 cans. More expensive than supermarkets but I would rather give to my local than Tescos.

Artie - Try Brockley Brewery for deliveries. Based in London but brewed by a Boro fan exiled down there

I could knack a pint of smooth now come to think of it.
Hell I even enjoyed a pint of worthy creamflow but haven't seen it anywhere in years now.

We have bought from the twice brewed brewery a bit North of us, they're doing home delivery, mini keys and some bottles and cans. Wylam brewery are too

I'll have a look at brockley if they deliver up here, cheers
 
I got some smooth from Aldi the other week.

I'm not a big fan of 3 brothers, there are much better small-breweries out there.
