What are you drinking tonight?

In between Christmas and the New Year, me and the Mrs had a few days in Whitby…. had a lovely time. Anyway, we had a few drinks in one particular pub at the bottom of the 199 steps up to the Abbey…. and whilst sat enjoying a lovely pint of Yorkshire Blonde, a chap came in and asked for half a Carling and half a John Smith’s in a pint glass!?
The lad behind the bar said we can’t do that and after a bit of ‘an argument’ the chap said f#ck this and walked out!
Anybody heard of this? I remember a pint of mixed (half mild/half bitter) and a snakebite (half lager/half cider), but never a lager/bitter mix?
Yep, I have, it is called a Golden in Liverpool, haven't heard anyone having it for years though. I used to order it when I was underage as it made the bar staff think I was older, always worked :slow rofl:

There was a pub we used to go to aged 14(!) where you could order any drink you fancied but you only ever got served half a mild. Found out years later that “the old guy” at the bar was the chief constable and he knew most of our parents
