Toby Light was pretty grim in the 70's.

I vote for Stones in second place but the most dire beer award goes to Brew Ten which coincidentally used to be served from a little wooden hut at the Turf, top corner between Beehole End/Longside circa 1970-82(ish).
It was the tinned variety but served in a plastic pint tumbler. Dire.

Brew 10 was horrendous. Was it this that they used to serve in the Cats Whiskers with the foamy head, or was that Wilson’s?

If you've ever been down Nottingham way, Shipstones was pretty awful.
