I've previously claimed to only drink cask beer -- never keg. I didn't like the CO2 being pumped into it and it was always too cold, which I felt killed the taste.
However... I have seen the light! The scales have fallen from my eyes!
A new pub opened in Glasgow just about 2 years ago, and my partner started going there on a Sunday, so a few months ago I started meeting him there. It's one of those hipster-y dog-friendly craft beer bars that don't take cash (card only), sell by 1/3 measures and are excruciatingly expensive (I paid £10.40 for a 500 ml can in there last weekend). They usually have 1 cask beer on, but often it's not something I'm particularly interested in, so I started experimenting with some of the craft kegs... and now I have been converted!
I've had some amazing milkshakes and stouts in there, and am right into the sours at the moment. Previously the thought of drinking a sour beer was stomach-churning for me, but I really like them now, as long as there's no mango or passion-fruit involved.
My beer world has expanded enormously... but I am now always skint!
