Red Barrel
Posted on March 17th, 2008 by timalmond
Back in the Seventies, most pubs were tied to a brewery, and the brewers called the shots.
Turning their backs on cask ale, they promoted newly developed “nitro-keg” beers, which were cheaper to brew, travelled better and lasted longer. Watney’s Red Barrel was king.
Nitro-keg didn’t come along until the 1990s. Watneys Red Barrel used CO2.
