Good news. Big fan of Higsons bitter but it was one of those beers that, well kept, was sublime, but badly kept was awful. I knew lots of people who said they didn't like it but when I took them to somewhere it was well kept they were converted. It was never the same when they stopped brewing it in Liverpool.
Used to go to the Grapes (Matthew St) every Friday night in the early to mid 70's - when Bob and Rene Cook had it - where the Higsons was mighty. Then on to the Odd Spot when the Grapes closed. Happy days.
