Four for me although none very recently: The Pullman, Earl of Clarendon, Rose in June and the Smack. What it has done though is make me realise that I have no record of ever drinking in Deal, which I...

Quite, on both counts. I record pubs that I have visited and "sampled the hospitality" of, for my own interest (although I can't think of any such that I have not been inside, even if mainly drinking...

Very sad news. I met him on several PuG crawls and we seemed to be on a similar wavelength (not to mention both being somewhat ancient, hairy and overweight!). Definitely on for a memorial pint or...

Bearing in mind the many excellent beer gardens and other outdoor spaces I have encountered, this is a pretty pathetic and random list. Just the Princess of Wales for me; also photographed the Blue...

After some deliberation, I would find it useful, particularly as a reference tool when out and about without access to my paper records (well, they mostly pre-date electronics!). It would certainly...

Another useful feature - thanks! One minor suggestion: greater colour differentiation between 'visited' and 'two or more' on the map would be helpful.

Well that's already prompted me to knock one more off, restoring Surrey to 100% and getting my first review of the year in (albeit an update of a 'holding' one). There could be hope for 2021 yet!

Absolutely excellent feature and will help enormously - great job! Marginally annoying in that some of the places I have planned for this year have no photo gaps at all, but I suppose that is...

I had a text from a body covering practices in a reasonably-sized area, quickly and easily booked the first jab locally which was efficiently performed, but for the second jab "we will be in touch in...

Meanwhile our new breweries are playing around with such things as these:

Ekuanot is known for bringing a complex array of aromas and flavors to the brew pot. Fruity aromatics such as lemon, lime,...

Aha - knocked off the Wheatsheaf in between lockdowns at the back end of last year - not a bad pub and one of my few visits in December. Have also done the Festival when it was a Truman pub, the...

This seems to be a reasonable plan going forward: 2593

Happy to report that Mrs Pangolin and I were jabbed last week with no effects other than a brief sore arm. Apparently our place was doing AstroZeneca in the morning and Pfizer (which we had) later in...

And here's the original story on the Rooney Anand side of it: https://news.sky.com/story/ex-greene-king-chief-anand-raises-200m-to-invest-in-ailing-pubs-sector-12192484

Probably a no-brainer, as...

Well done indeed.

Fair comment, although occasionally clogging the player is entirely justified! It is a less interesting place without the irascible old b******.

Like others, no targets - beyond the hope of actually getting to a pub, of course. And when they do finally emerge from lockdown, it is bound to be a total lottery as to what is actually open for a...

...and one more, before Tier 4 set in.

Which brings my year's total up to 161, very unlikely to change now. Also managed to get in 32% of my specific targets. So I suppose it's now sit back and...

A pity - SJF were a pretty reliable owner of historic pubs and I doubt the new people will resist the temptation to modernise.

Old Golden Hen is on at Morrisons for £1 a bottle. Hardly the greatest of beers, but at that price...

Hooray! I've visited a new pub (and it's still 2020)...

Tim cashing in while he has the chance:

There is a petition here fromn Greg Mulholland & co appealing for government support for pubs. Signed, although I won't be holding my breath waiting for a positive response.

Shep's may well be the oldest extant brewing company, dating back to 1698, but the oldest brewery site with continuous brewing is the Ram Brewery in Wandsworth (1550-ish), beating Faversham (1573) by...

I did almost exactly the same, but I can't say the Pistonhead did very much for me - no wonder it is in 6's.
