Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:30:40 +0100
Thought some of you might like to know that the annual Independents' Day
Treasure Hunt, celebrating Britain's independent breweries, is coming up
soon. It's on Saturday 4th July (of course), and it's basically a
combined pub crawl and quiz, roaming around some of Manchester's better
hostelries. More details at ...

Saltaire Brewery theft
Mon, 8 Jun 2009 11:26:23 +0100
Thieves have broken in to Saltaire Brewery and stolen a large quantity of
casks containing a new brew.
It is thought that they may have been stolen in order to offer to pubs or
festivals, as a large quantity of bottled Saltaire beer was also taken,
using a fork lift truck. Casks are often stolen to sell on as ...

Harvey's

I went to the Market Porter to meet my brother and some other
gentlemen yesterday. We all stood outside.
Those of us not drinking Guinness were drinking Harvey's of Sussex

Inside, heaving with people, I saw that there were about 10 real ales
available, but the people at the bar were shouting Harvey's Harvey ...

Griffin Inn - Warwickshire
Thu, 4 Jun 2009 14:35:49 +0100
A tip in case anyone gets lost finding this pub (like me yesterday). Annoyed
GBG is so reticent on its location, but this is the first instance I have
come across where a postcode leads you astray. The pub says GBG is correct
with B46 2LB, but website planners direct you to centre of Shustoke and The
Plough In ...

Price is not right
Tue, 02 Jun 2009 20:35:39 +0100
Just back from the Cotswolds after a week away and managed to take in a
number of CAMRA-rated pubs including the Old Spot at Dursley. But the
prices seem to be even higher than London - a round for me, the wife and
two kids - pint of 3.8% bitter, a small glass of wine/or half pint cider
and two small glasses o ...

Fat Cat in Sheffield
Sun, 31 May 2009 08:03:51 -0700 (PDT)
I was just wondering if anybody could comment on the experience I had
at the Fat Cat in Sheffield a couple of weeks ago. I had great hopes
for this pub, as I wandered in out of the Sheffield Monsoons. The
place was, to put it mildly, a disappointment. The Pale Rider was
tired (not just a bit along in its maturatio ...

Visited my favourite pub of all time on holiday recently :-

If only all pubs had rules like this - I'd probably start using them
regularly again.
Hardly visit pubs at all ATM :-(
