"Back in 2009, I was serving the best pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord in London at the Gunmakers. Indeed the only pint of it I ever had that might have been better was in the brewery's West Yorkshire heartland itself, at the Golden Fleece in Haworth. The reason? I did what I was told by the brewer.
I met Peter Eells at a London beer festival when I was new to writing about beer and some time before I entered the pub trade. The experience left an impression on me. I asked him why his beer could taste so very different, even in high turnover pubs where clearly freshness wasn't a problem. He explained that, unlike other modern cask beers, Landlord undergoes vigorous secondary fermentation in the cask. As such it takes longer to be ready. Indeed, he told me that five days in an unbunged state (with the shive at the top of the cask open, no corks or peg at all) was optimum.
When it came to handling the beer myself I remembered what he'd said that night, followed the instructions, and sure enough my beer was tremendous. The Gunmakers quickly got a reputation for superlative Tim Taylor Landlord. I now see that was the single most important reason why I was able to build the business as a credible real ale pub so quickly."
This gives some interesting insight and maybe has some bearing on a debate I had a few months ago with Thuck Phat on this forum (see #413 et seq) about the merits or otherwise of TTLL. I said it was almost always disappointing, to the extent that I now avoid this beer, previously a firm favourite, especially in the free trade. He kindly pointed out half a dozen places where he had supped a decent pint or two in recent years. Presumably (as they were nearly all TT pubs, as I recall) they were following the above instructions to the letter.
Back in the day Landlord was one of my favourite beers. I only ever once tried it to find it as good as their tied estate and that was at a back street free house in Peterborough. They used to deliver Landlord in Spoons and I recall the E10 Drum having casks that exploded. It probably didn't help having them delivered into the patio where they were left in the sun.
I suspect that Spoons dropped TT as they charged considerably more per cask than their competitors.

I'm glad his business is so strong he can alienate 800 plus potential customers. Hope the prat goes bust.
Well it was the Kirkstall Bridge Inn Kirkstall Brewery's brewery tap.

Would that include an office worker turning up in a suit and tie they had been wearing all day and possibly one of those silly ID things draped around their neck.Quote:
Landlady Caroline Santi, whose family has run the Princess of Wales for seven years, said: "We don't have a dress code, but we ask people not to wear work clothes. We ask that you please go home and change.
I am a scruffy builder but I would not dream of going into a pub in working clothes.I assume them days are long gone.Popped into the White Horse sw6 on Thursday lunchtime to check what was on at the beer fest.Changed my jumper and trousers , had a half then 15 minutes later changed back to my working clothes.Easy enough.
Bag o' Nails cat friendly pub. Perhaps we need a cat friendly option added to the pub details list as well as dog friendly? :)

Went in that pub on a PG trip.Manky cats on the bar.Disgusting imo.
Me too, nice pub, not to bothered about the cats.I remember Tom Paine strutting up and down the bar in the Seven Stars until he passed away a few years ago, quite a character. Attachment 1289

I would have included this one. Like the Clachaig Inn it's a climber's & walker's pub at the lower end of the Llanberis Pass. Also like the Clachaig when it eventually stops raining the views are superb. The picture I submitted to the site is over 35 years old, the two pine trees are no longer there. This was after one of them snapped like a matchstick in an overnight gale and crashed through the roof of the pub. Nobody was hurt, more by luck than anything. Soon after they cut the other tree down.
It also has a carpark and campsite attached (or did last time I went there) and is a really good place to land when you arrive by motorcycle in the early hours after an emotional ride along the A5 (in pre-M54 days anyway) having left the South coast on a whim without checking the weather. Not sure if they still do the cooked breakfast and late-night lock-ins, but you're well set up for a day's walking in the hills regardless. I would have been using this place regularly around the time Aqualung's pic was taken.
I thought the campsite was at the farm across the road rather than the pub. I suspect the breakfasts went when Pete's Eats in Llanberis opened. I don't remember many lock ins apart from when the Landlord was in the mood and a few of the locals agreed to sing the songs that you still hear at the Rugby (Sosban Bach, Land of My Fathers etc).
