Reminds me of a brewery visit I paid to Theakston's of Masham in North Yorkshire in '74. I was at Catterick Garrison with my University OTC. With characteristic military planning, we did the visit in the morning, receiving generous amplings of 'Old Peculier' and then did an assault course in the afternoon.... At that time there was a pub in Richmond Yorkshire with a one-armed barman who drew the beer from a keg into a large enamel jug. My admiration for his dexterity was tempered by the fact that the flight path for the dartboard ran parallel to, and three feet from, the bar counter! Excellent article.
