The Alma, Newington Green

Very unpleasant experience. Served with cloudy and sour beer (actually a nice ale called Redemption). After pointing this out to the barmaid, she changed barrel but failed to pull off the pipe residue and served two more cloudy and undrinkable pints. A simple mistake.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed on her behalf we pointed this out. Rather than receive an apology and two drinkable pints the landlord intervened and subjected us to an unprovoked and aggressive tirade. He point blank refused to replace the pints and threatened to call the police if we continued to protest. Absolutely extraordinary behaviour!
