We had it on a spigot, gravity-fed. It was ale, don't forget.

hehehe...I'm suprised it lasted THAT long. Yes, CO2 systems are the way to go at least here in the US since we can't get the good English brews that fresh.... I can't say that I've ever been to a Pub here that didn't have a CO2 system or nitrogen system (for Guinness & Boddington).

cheers!
