Dropped into Dr Duncans with some old rugby-playing friends of 40+ years who meet weekly to enjoy real ale in various different Liverpool pubs. 2nd round was 7 pints of Cains FA - definitely "0ff" - tasted and smelt of vinegar, so they were taken back to the bar with a polite request for an alternative beer. Bar staff not interested. Manager announced there was nothing wrong with the beer. Total lack of interest of the fact that 7 guys who had been drinking beer for over 40+ years were concerned about the beer's quality. It wasn't as if we were after a a free pint - all 7 of the returned glasses of "FA were full, less a sip! The way our request was dealt with was very poor. It was a "take it or leave it" approach. Needless to say, we all left for the nearby Crown & Mitre which is a GENUINE Real Ale Pub. Dr Duncan's is Cains' Flagship pub but the staff running it did not demonstrate much interest in customer satisfaction or competence in keeping a good beer cellar. Sorry Cain's. Your beer is great but your "front of house" pub is not doing you any favours!
