Dark Star missing from now on.

[Uh_huh_him]

Disappointing news. Dark Star over Harveys every time for me.

 

[northstandnorth]

Most chose harveys for the pie and pint option and for the e-cash rebate.Dark Star have so much to offer as a brewery than the one trick Harveys,loads of different beers to enjoy,all the others Sussex brewers can deliver quality beers suited to the mobile bar format but each would struggle without the advantages offered to Harveys in the main bars.

 

[Lethargic]

Disappointing news we did our best in the East Stand Lower to keep the numbers up however it should mean an improvement in results as when ever I drunk more Hophead that Harvey's we lost, that can't happen now so no more defeats.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

This.

What would your football cider of choice? I'd settle for stowford or thatchers gold.

 

[beorhthelm]

They have been doing it for over a year and if they were given room in the main bars they have a much more interesting stable of beers than the one trick pony ouse muck served by Harveys

interesting prejudice. what is it with the anti-Harveys? preference between Hophead and Sussex Best is down to personal taste, they aren't really similar enough to compare directly. you talk about the stable and they are both pretty varied and cover much the same ground in their own way, though Darkstar insist on the citrusy new world hops. "one trick" suggests you've not ventured beyond the Best?

The only cider worthy of replacing Strongbow would be Magners Golden Draught.

Dark star is my fav only found it at the Amex on two occasions

So, magners make a decent cider, do they?

That is the problem,too few people found the portable bars,even the caterers who failed on a few occasions to set the bars up!!!!
Given an even chance through the main bars Dark Star could have competed.

I'm not keen on the bottled stuff, but I like this. Unfortuneately the only places that sell it are Kempton Park Racecourse and Seaford Head Golf Club.

 

[Doc Lynam]

can we have a decent cider instead?

Make my missus happy with Thatchers, she loves the stuff

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Guess Dark Star just couldn't gear up for the demand . Oh well, back in yer box

I am not totally opposed to Harveys,"best"I have had loads of pie and a pint deals at Falmer,I much prefered K&B Festive in the days of the Sussex beer wars but there should be room for the new kid on the block competing at an even level in all the bars.

Thatchers Gold on draught is magnificent. Although I prefer the stronger bottled stuff like Katy, draught gold is a great pint for football.
Went to the Bolton game with 2 others, I was looking forward to drinking Dark Star as I had heard much about it on here and to be honest none of us liked it, Harveys was better but not that impressed.

Honestly, not because I live in the SW but I am a Doom Bar man and thankfully one of the pubs at the station ( forgotten which one) sells Doom Bar and I had more than my fill.

By the way, next time you are in M&S pick up a bottle of Sussex Golden Ale brewed by Hepworths in Horsham, it was absolutely delicious, dont know if it is made only for M&S.

Thatchers would be my choice, that's why I enjoy the swan pre match, thatchers on draught !
I'd be equally happy with stowford or aspalls.

Had a pint of Harveys Old just before Christmas in a pub in Robertsbridge. I commented how nice it was but much preferred King & Barnes' Old. He said to me that what a lot of people didn't know was it was one and the same as Harveys brewed it for K & B. I gave him my best Paddington Bear stare. Having been brought up in Horsham and cut my teeth on K & B beers I could not believe my ears, stupid stupid man. K & B won awards year on year for that brew, Bill King would do his nut if knew such crap was said about of his finest brews.

The man should have been burnt on a stake at the Carfax for such blasphemy. Draught Festive was the beer of the gods.
