The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Yeh. That's a shithole too. I'd heard a rumour that wasn't reopening but there have been a lot of BS rumours which have been debunked with that announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some very, very unsavoury characters last I was in there, just after new year. The faux 'Ye olde pub' look doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some not opening Monday or Tuesday, and some not opening until mid or late afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) That's more like it . Rather than being welcomed straight back with a mooted 40p per pint hike. Edited June 18, 2020 by Non-Believer Typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Was talking with an ex Manx publican who now now runs a smart pub just outside Bolton. Their supplier has briefed them that many of the products they’ll be supplied as pubs open, think bottles and kegs, will have over stuck best by labels. So a keg in stock in the warehouse from February or early March with a best by of 30 April will have a best before 31/7 stuck on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely "best before" dates are applied for a reason, would it be a legal requirement? Would a supermarket be allowed to "re-date" its perishable and chilled goods, rather than marking them down in price to encourage sale before date expiry?

Would a supermarket be allowed to "re-date" its perishable and chilled goods, rather than marking them down in price to encourage sale before date expiry? I raised an eyebrow, then I got to thinking. Keg beer, pasteurised, sterile, unopened, should be good for a long time. Look at dates on cans and compare. Many ciders now have a 12 month best before. The best before date, sometimes shown as BBE (best before end), is about quality and not safety. The food will be safe to eat after this date but may not be at its best. Its flavour and texture might not be as good. Best before dates appear on a wide range of foods including: frozen foods dried foods tinned foods The best before date will only be accurate if the food is stored according to the instructions on the packaging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of months max for bitter and 4 months max for lager. After that, use your stock of toilet rolls quicker than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
