Interesting. Down here in Southampton there aren't often sparklers on ale taps.
Apparently in England (can't speak for Wales) there's a regional divide - Us southerners like a relatively flat ale, with no real head. In the north a beer ought to have a bit of fizz and hold a foamy head.
Yeah I wonder if the lockdown is going to kill any of the local industry. There are three or four decent ale and craft bars in walking distance of my house, and I'd like to keep it that way.
