No lack of real beer due to CO2 shortage – just Eurofizz | Brief letters

Real ale | NHS at 70 | Vaginal treatments | Morris cars | Hiding valuables

Regarding the shortage of CO₂ reported in the Guardian over the last week, it does not lead to a shortage of real beer – only of the ersatz versions such as lager and the like. I have seen no shortage of proper beer here in West Somerset. Real ale, whether bottle or cask conditioned, needs no extra input of CO₂ as it creates its own. Perhaps now is a good time to extol the virtues of real ale as opposed to Eurofizz!
