Planning a trip to Reading in late Oct with a couple of mates , a few pubs including hopefully the Retreat before it closes. Also hopefully not having any Pride, Doom Bar or G.K. IPA.

Reading 145k, York 202k, Norwich 195k, Sheffield 640k, Derby 221k

Whilst defining Reading's population is always a source of great debate down here (thanks to the unhelpful unitary authority carve-up a decade or so back) we have certainly got a better selection on the go than even I thought. And there's certainly room for another specialist ale outlet in RG1 in my view; affluent population, lots of students, two decent sports teams and good transport links...

all you need is a good football team then ?. cheers
