Easy choice this month.The fabulous Sheffield Tap had everything I could want from a pub.South Yorkshire got the Sheffield tap us Londoners got the Euston tap.Not fair.
Easy choice for me as well, The Gunmakers Arms. Never had a bad pint here in fact they're nearly always exceptional,a good looking pub from the outside and a good drinking experience within, firmly up there with the best London can offer in my opinion the only downside is, it is closed weekends.
The newly done up and re-opened The Dolphin Inn well worth the short walk in the wrong direction .
Will have a look at the Dolphin next time I'm up there. We went a few times when it was a brewpub, and never managed to get the brew!!
Very quiet on the new pubs front this month, but a second visit to The Maltings, York proved very enjoyable. A natural double header with the York Tap, in some ways I prefer its smaller, cosier feel. Beer quality is excellent. God knows what it was like trying to get served before the extension was built.
A couple of contenders this month, really enjoyed the King Charles in Worcester, excellent beer and best cob of the year. This one Hop Pole Inn gets my POTM - a great local's pub this one, friendly staff, great beer, could stay a good few hours here.
Tempted to go for BHT, where I watched the dismantling of the forces of darkness last week (4th goal lost me £900), but I'll opt for Generous Briton, which wasn't on my initial Loughborough list for Saturday but a pal noted its local Camra win - very decent ale range, good bustle about the place during footy, and the first time I've ever seen a dartboard (one of their two) illuminated from the actual board surround-mounting. I did make some proper notes, for a change, but couldn't find them by Sunday! Beers included JHB, Salopian Shropshire Gold & Golden Thread, good Bass, maybe 7 or 8 in all.
