UK Drafts Ales

I am on a 10 day trip in the UK. Started in London, and visiting, Birmingham, Cotswolds, Peak District , and the Lakes District in the North.

I have been enjoying local cask beer at every pub I have visited. In the UK a pub is either privately owned and can serve any beers they want or owned by a brewery and serve only that breweries beers/ales.

I was at the Bull's Head in Ashwood on the Water (a trout river) which is owned by Robinson's Brewery outside of Manchester. They have 3 cask beers on tap as shown by this picture as well as several standard draft beers (Perroni, Guinness, Stella Artois, and Carling. I sampled 2 of the cask beers: Unicorn Ale, and Elbow. Both were excellent... very smooth and plenty of flavor with a nice smooth head.

here is a link to their web site: http://www.robinsonsbrewery.com/cata...ory/view/id/22
