Best excuse for a price rise I've heard yet. 50p premium for serving cask ale through a hand pump rather than air font.

The pub is found in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB25 1BU.
An Aberdeen stalwart of real ale is now down to serving a single beer through the traditional tall font. The lounge bar is probably the best and most atmospheric music venue in the city with a wide range of of jazz, blues, folk and more modern music. Small, intimate public bar is a great place for a chat.
We have visited this pub 65 times, seen 23 different beers and tried 22 of them.
