It's taken a while but will be top of my "to do" list when next in Brum.

Just three for me,Cambridge Blue,Ye Olde Fighting Cocks and Cumberland Arms (1989 so memory vague !).

Having been to both Warrington and Wigan in June I would say they are well behind Wakefield in terms of ale variety and quality,while tacking on Horbury to Wakefield could produce a very fine day...

But with the Autumn crawl reserved for the 10 year anniversary in Birmingham,then the choice of the North in Spring implies that the Southern venue will be in June/early July as we tend to avoid peak...

I think Lincoln is a decent call and the date looks good from my point of view.

It's been a while since I was last in Lincoln and there seems to be a lot more GBG entries these days,including the...

Hertford,Gospel Oak,Potters Bar and Mugswell.

Ye Olde Mitre

Used to work close by in the 80's,this revisit after a long gap proved highly enjoyable.

No boating but quite a bit of London action has seen the total rise to 204 .With December being a whole series of revisits ,that maybe close to the final total for 2019.

Never been drinking in Edinburgh,so no ticks from me and none the wiser.

Classic.:nishelypished:

Yes I got charged £3.70 for a half in The Chandos.Interesting beer but I didn't want to drink a pint straight off.

Thanks for the heads up,I normally avoid Sam Smith pubs but was curious to try...

That's sad news ,hope you can return to the drinking fold in the near future while following the docs advise.

Tower Hill,Charing Cross and Croydon.


Salopian -- Golden Thread
Dark Star -- Hophead
Brew Dog -- 99 Problems * (keg)...

As you say with Kernel back in the game,the Bermondsey Beer Mile continues to grow.:glass:

I really should get down there sometime....................

trainman enjoys a good game of darts,maybe one for him ;)

Seconded,I've always enjoyed their XX mild.Shame on the new owners but at least they are maintaining the GK ethos.;)

Just a single pub visit so by default BOTW was Purple Moose Black Cherry Porter* in top form in the Old Cross Tavern .Not overpowering cherry,some vanilla and well balanced by good bitterness ,a very...

Well done ,a great achievement and at a considerable pace recently :notworthy:

[QUOTE=Aqualung;103828] The obvious venue near Ongar was the Moletrap which has sadly closed. I did notice that Admiral Sir Bucking Fastard had been there. Now what canal trip could that have been...

Just a gentle stroll from Chancery Lane to Covent Garden.

Greenwich,Hertford,Fitzrovia,Belgravia and Croydon.

Kernel --Pale Ale * (keg)
Mighty Oak -- Kings

Shrewsbury really helped and a few fill ins pushed the total to 190 year to date.Might breast 200 for the year but no real plans to voyage into uncharted territory.

Elbow Room

Worth seeking out if you are ever in Hinckley,modern yet friendly and with good drinking options it's certainly different.

Yes that was my recollection ,maybe someone is trying to revive the brand...........................and failing.
