To me - and those who frequent a certain Surrey boozer - TEA is Traditional English Ale, brewed by the Hogs Back brewery for about 25 years.
An amber ale that goes down a treat with Fish & Chips - TEA is a major seller and award winner.
Sought after by the aristocracy of English beer drinkers; I am merely an Earl.
When newcomers to pubs around Surrey hear the order - 'a pint of tea, please' - eyebrows are raised, and the request is repeated and turned into a question.
Goodness Barney as a Surrey lad myself I'm wondering if that is you sat in the corner tapping on your phone right now...
I ordered a "pint of tea" off a young bartender few months back in a pub by the river and he started to boil a kettle (seriously).
Poor lad looked a tad embarrased...

I am slowly getting out the pub game now, yes I have Tea being referred to to ale. I have have done some work for Hogs Back in the past; marvellous beer and staff.
I am in middle of the process selling up the 2 pubs and my shares in breweries etc. I will still work part time as a salesmen for the corner shops though. |

This has to be the best way to make tea, also you can see how strong it is. No one I know ever puts the milk in first. That includes the greasy spoon cafés I go to.
My partner is a former police dog handler, so she likes her drinks sweet. (old habits die hard) |
