Gassy Pils

Absolutely agree Jason - it took me a long time to get used to the added CO2 found in many Frankische and, may I say it, Oberpfaltzische Stub'n.

Never heard of the '7-minute pour', sounds like the double delivery for Guinness, which is simple a con.  There are quite a lot of country pubs that manage to use CO2 assisted delivery and maintain a sort of acceptable level but, too often, it is just careless dispense.  The whole question of gas in beer simple convinces me that drinkers are being conned.  Once upon a time, all beer was natural, then brewers and publicans discovered the joys of mass production and increased profitability, which involved removing the natural gases, leaving a sterile liquid that would last a long time and could be 'revived' by adding gas at the dispense.  But, as you indicate, in all ways it is an unsatisfactory process, which generally leaves a gassy, often tasteless liquid, little resembling beer, which reached its nadir in the days of Watney's Red and the like.

I've said it before, but who would choose to eat highly processed food over the real, natural product?  We are only now finding out the harm that has been done to us, little by little, by manufactured food.
