Some old establishment and family owned ( not many of these<br />now days) have some beer on tap from wooden barrels.<br />Cheers<br />Aussie Col (Brisbane)Huggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-64721129220375861712014-12-28T23:26:42.604+00:002014-12-28T23:26:42.604+00:00So that's what you do on Boxing Day these days...So that's what you do on Boxing Day these days!

I thought the blue guy had magnets attached to his barrel and the white line had iron filings in the paint .. straight as a die, then the 2nd, 3rd and 4th legs less and less straight .. fun ..
