Since making its first order of Goddards Fuggle-Dee-Dum on 16th January 1995, staff at The Anchor in Cowes have kept a tally of precisely how many pints they have served.
On Wednesday at 15:00 they pulled the 250,000th pint of the Island’s favorite real ale for Anchor Inn regular Kevin Fisher.
Placed side-by-side, a quarter of a million pints of Fuggle would stretch from the bar in The Anchor Inn to the Nab Tower off the east of the Island – it’s a lot of beer however you measure it.
Goddards Head of Operations, Xavier Baker commented:
“The Anchor has been one of our most loyal and longstanding customers, although no one can quite remember why they started to count how much FuggleDeeDum was being served. It’s appropriate that this landmark pint of ale was enjoyed by someone who has also been a fan of the pub and our beer over the years”.
Kevin was presented with a special Fuggle-Dee-Dum loyalty card, an all inclusive meal for 2 at The Anchor Inn and a VIP tour of Goddards Brewery as well as a gift pack and t-shirt.
