Grassman Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 14.30 Top gate balance beam has snapped. At the moment the hand rail is just about holding it together so the lock is workable but slow. CRT staff in attendance to assess. Not sure how long it will hold before completely unusable.

If I went the Great Western for instance, I would choose the ‘other’. For they have both. I reckon on a blindfold test between the two, I’d prefer the other. They’re close but not…so close. Both suit me taste buds like a tasty thing should . If it’s moorish get on and drink it !! 3 minutes ago, Midnight said: Might be joining you if it's not fixed tomorrow.

beerbeerbeerbeerbeer Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 🙏🏻 As someone said, it could be the Spanish windlass that did for it. It has been progressively harder to open through the year. 🤷♀️ Can we have a Blue Spanish Windlass sign? Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's struck me that Golden Glow might be brewed to the same recipe as another beer (the best in the whole wide world IMHO) brewed not a million miles away from Delph Bottom Lock.
