Absoloutely. It is why hand pumped ales can be flat, and the vertical distance between the cellar and the pump crucial. You cant hand pump much over 3 meters or so.
============================== Nothing to say.
Hand pumped ales flat? you must be a southerner no self respecting Pub would server flat beer regardless of source Hand pumps are fitted with restrictors (sprinklers) that cream the beer on deliverly to produce a creamy head that should last untill the pint is finished, if the head is gone before you finish it means either the beer is going off, it was badly pulled or kept or that your are darn sooth. although i find a lot of "new" bar staff cannot pull a pint for the life of them, they have a tendancy to undo the sprinkers, this makes the pint easier to pull but stops the head forming correctly or to pull so many time that they kill the head.

Not all beers or pumps use sparklers. They change the taste of the beer, as well as the size of the head.

not all beers? I do suppose bottle beers never used them ;) unless they are gravity taps I dont remember any hand pumps that didnt (although it has been a good few years since I worked behind a bar) even those in london had them even if they were never fitted. keg beer I will admit, never used them as you would have just ended up as foam as for the taste, I have never found anyone who prefered the taste of flat beer (or keg for that matter) to hand pulled

No, you are calling it whatever you want. I am calling it what it IS. :) firkin "small cask, fourth part of a barrel," late 14c., apparently from M.Du. *vierdekijn, dim. of vierde, lit. "fourth, fourth part" (see fourth). I never knew that.

You are aware that Theakstones is now just a name slapped on a Carsberg bitter? the people who used to make theakstones now make Black Sheep.

Well, I meant 'not fizzy', like keg lager. (And some ales can be so un fizzy they dont produce a creamy head, seriously. Perhaps souther ales arte different? ) See how thin the head is on a pint of London Pride: http://www.google.co.uk/search?um=1&hl=en&biw=1271&bih=830&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=pint+of+london+pride&oq=pint+of+london+pride&aq=f&aqi=g-mS1&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=9068l11003l0l11238l12l10l0l0l0l0l363l1436l0.1.4.1l6l0[^]

dont cry, Paul Theakston sold Theakston to Carsberg Tetley moved over the road and set up black Sheep using the equipment from the Theakston's brewery (carsberg Tetley didnt want the brewing equipement) so Black Sheep is the old Theakston's bitter
