Since making its first order of Goddards FuggleDeeDum on 16th January 1995, staff at The Anchor in Cowes have kept a tally of precisely how many pints they have served. They have now pulled their 250,000th pint, ordered by Anchor Inn regular Kevin Fisher.
Placed sidebyside, 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.”
Goddards Brewery is based at Barnsley Farm in Ryde and Fuggle Dee Dum equates to a third of the brewery’s beer production.
