I walked into the New Sydney Hotel last night for what is likely to be the last CPA from tap they serve there. Apparently they have had problems with the way it pours (half head) over the last month or 2. They have tried different lines, taps, etc, but have been told the problem lies with them by Cooper's reps, so they are now going to use the tap for something else in the future. I was a bit disappointed to find this out, but that soon changed when they said they had spoken to Little Creatures to organise some LCPA. Unfortunately they don't deliver to Tassie in kegs, so the pub would have to pay for freight down to Tassie, which would jack the price of a pint up around the $10 mark! Of course this isn't viable, so they are trying to source a suitable pale ale to put on that is available by keg to Tassie. They have looked at other local options as well, but quality control has been a bit of an issue in the past with the smaller breweries, so they are a bit hesitant to try them again.
I guess I have a few questions from this.
1. Is this where breweries should be looking at the use of the 1 way keg, where the logistics of keg delivery/recovery outweighs the cost of this type of keg?
2. Which beer do you think should be placed on tap as the replacement? Bearing in mind they do have quite a few beers on tap, including Moo Brew - it is nice to have another quality option though!
3. Should Coopers have tried a bit harder to keep this on at this pub? I realise they have a decent market share out there, but this pub has been a big supporter down here for them in the last few years.
Cheers,
Morrie
