That's about 72% of an English barrel.

Just yesterday after a long walk I had a Molson Export draft that was very nice, nothing wrong with it at all. My destination was a craft beer bar but it was closed. Down the street I found a small bar, the most plainly adorned I think I've ever seen in the city but that's fine, with a clientele of older guys, so that's me too and I went in. Molson Export on draft was amongst the offerings and the freshness denoted a decent turnover. Quite tasty in its own way.<br /><br />GaryGary Gillmannoreply@blogger.com
