Aqualung prompted me to publicise the Somerset CAMRA Ale Trail 2018, so here is the list. Anyone wanting a freebie (OK, you spend a bare minimum of £70 on beer plus your travel to get a polo shirt for 20 pubs visited, plus more stuff (book token and a £50 quid meal) for 30 or 40 visited. It's on now, ends 28 May 18. I guess details are on Somerset CAMRA's web page, but I haven't looked. You get a paper 'passport' from one of the participating pubs, then each pub you drink in gives you a sticker to put in it. Like World Cup football stickers for grown-ups. Which does make you feel a bit silly asking for the sticker when there are hardened locals around. The list is:

1 The Old Pound Inn (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/65242/)

Think I've been in 24 of those if I added them up correctly. Hmm 2 more today and a recount I seem to be on 28... 3rd time lucky count?

Many thanks for that, it must have taken ages! Finding a pub not listed on here is a bonus. Given the CAMRA backing is this a list of lesser known real ale outlets in Somerset? My experience of Somerset pubs is very limited and the JDWs were largely uninspiring. My single memory of a killer Somerset pub was this (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/57803/) one in the mid 80s. I've a vague recollection of farmyard creatures (ducks, geese or hens) roaming around the bar but I may have just had too much cider! It was probably just as well that we didn't have to ask a hapless passer by for directions to the village.
