It has been a very rare occassion when I've not taken a cup of tea when offered, or even not felt like making another when my cup is empty.
Unless I'm drinking beer.

I'm actually quite bad at this.
I tend to go to a pub of an afternoon, grab a table on my own, get out my book, read for a bit, get out my laptop, write for a bit, have some nibbles open, and by about 6pm when the pub is no longer quiet, I've covered an entire table and a couple of chairs with..

Well, it's my logic, or what passes for it 🤣
Seriously though, tea made with microwaved water is awful :¬/

Beer is pre-brewed, so it's okay to microwave.
Tea isn't pre-brewed, so needs a kettle to brew it. 🤣
To be fair though, most people have better taste and higher standards than me ;)

CAMRA do have quite a lot of keg equipment, that's of pretty decent quality. Not enough for what I'd like, but gotta start somewhere!

Last year there was a KeyKeg bar with 10 lines.
I'd like to see it upped to 20 lines with a 5 line Lager Bar.
We get a lot of folks at PBF who don't really care about cask, but they're there for the event. For me, far better to give them good versions of what they normally drink, get them onto that.
