I likes a drop of good beer, I do, I likes a drop of good beer... by dulciknit

I likes a drop of good beer, I do, I likes a drop of good beer...

Although I think any member of CAMRA (CAMpaign for Real Ale) would blench at the thought of any beer stored in aluminium kegs being described as good!
I took this last Thursday, when we went to the Rising Sun pub at Berkhamsted where Lester's Morris side was dancing, but haven't had chance to process it until today.
The title is the first couple of lines of the chorus from a folk song, one of many extolling the virtues of beer.
Very colourful kegs; I prefer a bottle myself on the odd times I have a beer:0)

That's a lot of drops!

Is it true that Morris men get a free pint in any pub they enter in costume?

Liked seeing these battered, bruised, colorful kegs lined up and wondering how many drops of beer you could get from them. Really enjoy 365 Project...not only do I get photographic inspiration, but also an education...had to Google Morris Men Dancers!!

@connie865 Thank you, Connie. Yes, it's surprising the amount of information you pick up here and you'll probably find yourself taking photos of things and then looking up info. about them for the captions.
I've found I remember what I learn really well as a result of taking a photo and checking for info.about the subject. The camera's a great educational tool, wish I could gave had one at school!

@crewnelson Not really but a good landlord will provide free beer during/after dancing and may lay on a few nibbles as well. The landlord sometimes get quite a lot of extra trade on the night s/he has dancers at the pub so it's good business sense to encourage the Morris back = a free pint.

I like the composition of this shot. I hope the beer tasted good too.
July 8th, 2013  
Great composition and POV. Sounds like a fun place
July 8th, 2013  
Ooh I guess a good time was had by all!

I don't really like a drop of beer unless it's bloody hot and I'm bloody thirsty! Lovely fun image, I look forward to seeing where you went on your trip!

Looks like the two guys have a fair bit to get through - hope they didn't have to dance afterwards.

Thats a lot of beer. Like the way the cans lead your eye down to the drinkers are the end of the line.

If I hadn't read your commentary, I wouldn't have guessed these as kegs of beer. Those are so colorful and beautifully detailed. And what interesting information about them.

Love your composition. The line of colorful kegs leads right to the beer drinkers.
July 9th, 2013  
Lovely capture and commentary. Too much beer has been consumed from the looks of it.

Nice one. Actually, the words "bad" and "beer" rarely go together with the exception of Watneys of course... and Greenall Whitney... and... :o)))))

Hee hee...I've heard of lining your shot glasses up...but kegs of beer?? That's hardcore! So your delay in processing was because you still had a hangover? LOL! Great fun shot!

@kazlamont Thank you, Kazzy. LOL! No, despite the title, I don't drink.
July 9th, 2013  
Are those their empties! lol. A well spotted candid!
July 9th, 2013  
Excellent. Love the line up. Fun title too. I do like a drop myself, but have little time for the pub these days. You are a barrel of fun Alison! Tee hee.
July 9th, 2013

July 9th, 2013
